TNF-α (−308) Gene Polymorphism and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Ethiopian Diabetes Patients
1 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder resulting from insulin insufficiency or function. Predisposing factors for T2DM are mainly genetic and environmental. Genetic polymorphism of cytokines like tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is suggestive of interference with insulin-sensitive glucose uptake and induces insulin resistance that ultimately could lead to T2DM. In this study, we...
