2019-07-09
Abstract excerpt
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is an emerging public health problem in Asia. An Asian mitochondrial DNA variation m.1382A>C (rs111033358) leads to a K14Q amino acid replacement in MOTS-c, an insulin sensitizing mitochondrial-derived peptide. Meta-analysis of three cohorts (n=27,527, J-MICC, MEC, and TMM) showed that males but not females with the C-allele exhibit a higher prevalence of T2D. Furthermore, in J-MICC, only mal...
