Type 2 diabetes: the genetic conflict hypothesis.

Medical hypotheses - 1 Apr 2013

Denic S, Emerald S, Nicholls M G

Abstract excerpt

We propose that conflict between paternally and maternally derived genes in the fetus explains three apparently unrelated observations in epidemiological studies of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2): (i) low birth weight is a risk factor for the development of DM2, (ii) there is a high prevalence of low birth weight among babies of fathers who develop DM2, and (iii) an exceptionally high prevalence of DM2 exists in...
