Increased DNA methylation of the SLC30A8 gene promoter is associated with type 2 diabetes in a Malay population
17 Mar 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have demonstrated that DNA polymorphisms in the solute carrier family 30 member 8 (SLC30A8) gene confer the risk susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D). The present study aimed to analyze DNA methylation levels of this gene in T2D and diabetic nephropathy (DN). RESULTS: We confirmed the genetic association study of SLC30A8 in 992 Malay subjects with normal glucose tolerance and T2D...
