[Etiology and physiopathology in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes--results of twin studies].

Abstract excerpt

Twin studies have provided important insights into a complicated interplay between genetic and both prenatal and postnatal environmental factors implicated in the aetiology and pathophysiology of Type 2 diabetes. Although our present knowledge is too insufficient to discard the results of classical twin studies into the relative roles of genes versus environment for the development of diabetes and its metabolic...
