The genetics of type 2 diabetes: A review

Because of the widespread distribution and increasing prevalence of Type 2 diabetes in modern society, great efforts have been made to understand the underlying causes of the disease. The fact that the cause of Type 2 diabetes is primarily of genetic origin has been known for many years. In the last five years advances in the microarray analysis of gene expression and statistical genetics had provided hope that these techniques would give a clear identification of the genes involved and an understanding of the genetic nature of the disease. An analysis of recent work in this area has been carried out and possible reasons put forward as to why the results have not been as useful as might have been hoped.
