Diabetes in Population Isolates: Lessons from Greenland.

The review of diabetic studies : RDS - 1 Jan 2000

Grarup Niels, Moltke Ida, Albrechtsen Anders, Hansen Torben

Abstract excerpt

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an increasing health problem worldwide with particularly high occurrence in specific subpopulations and ancestry groups. The high prevalence of T2D is caused both by changes in lifestyle and genetic predisposition. A large number of studies have sought to identify the genetic determinants of T2D in large, open populations such as Europeans and Asians. However, studies of T2D in population...
