Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Asians have among the highest incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in the world, partly due to low β-cell function, causing them to rapidly develop T2DM when insulin resistant. This study tested the hypothesis that genetic polymorphisms are responsible for the low β-cell function and that dietary factors interact with the genes to exacerbate their risk of T2DM. METHODS: We selected 10 genetic variants...
