Cold climate genes and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Medical hypotheses - 1 Jan 2006

Fridlyand Leonid E, Philipson Louis H

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is approaching epidemic proportions globally. However, some human populations, such as Western-Europeans, have a lower prevalence compared with urban or westernized groups with origins in warmer climates. To explain this conspicuous trend we have developed a hypothesis suggesting that pressure for survival on ancestral Western-Europeans (or on other human populations) in...
