Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is growing faster in Africa than anywhere else, driven by the dual effects of genetic and environmental factors. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analyses of published studies on genetic markers of T2D in populations within Africa. METHODS: Multiple databases were searched for studies of genetic variants associated with T2D in populations living in Africa. Studies...
