Does genetic heterogeneity account for the divergent risk of type 2 diabetes in South Asian and white European populations?

Abstract excerpt

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: South Asians are up to four times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than white Europeans. It is postulated that the higher prevalence results from greater genetic risk. To evaluate this hypothesis, we: (1) systematically reviewed the literature for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) predisposing to type 2 diabetes in South Asians; (2) compared risk estimates, risk alleles and risk allele...
