A genetic link between type 2 diabetes and prostate cancer.

Diabetologia - 1 Oct 2008

Frayling T M, Colhoun H, Florez J C

Abstract excerpt

Epidemiological studies suggest that men with type 2 diabetes are less likely than non-diabetic men to develop prostate cancer. The cause of this association is not known. Recent genetic studies have highlighted a potential genetic link between the two diseases. Two studies have identified a version (allele) of a variant in the HNF1B (also known as TCF2) gene that predisposes to type 2 diabetes, and one of them...
