Abstract excerpt
Except for rare subtypes of diabetes, both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are multifactorial diseases in which genetic factors consisting of multiple susceptibility genes and environmental factors contribute to the disease development. Due to complex interaction among multiple susceptibility genes and between genetic and environmental factors, genetic analysis of multifactorial diseases is difficult in humans. Inbred...
