Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is observing an accelerating prevalence rate of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) influenced by gene-environment interaction of modifiable and nonmodifiable factors. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the heritability and genetic risk of T2DM in SSA. METHODS: We reviewed all published articles on T2DM in SSA between January 2000 and December 2019 and available...
