Evaluation of polymorphisms known to contribute to risk for diabetes in African and African-American populations.

Current opinion in clinical nutrition and metabolic care - 1 Jul 2007

Elbein Steven C

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Populations of direct African ancestry have much greater genetic diversity than do other populations. African-American populations exhibit twice the prevalence of type 2 diabetes as compared with their Caucasian counterparts. African-American populations are likely to have unique genetic susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. This review addresses current knowledge of susceptibility genes that are...
