Gene-environment interactions in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus: lessons learned from the Pima Indians

The Proceedings of the Nutrition Society
R E Pratley

Abstract

The comprehensive longitudinal studies of diabetes conducted in the Pima Indians of Arizona over the last 30 years indicate that both genetic and environmental factors play a critical role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Pre- and postnatal exposures as well as diet and physical activity in adulthood markedly affect risk of developing NIDDM in this population. In addition, the high prevalence of diabetes in the Pimas relative to other populations and the familiality of the disease and its precursors, strongly suggest a substantial genetic basis. Interactions between genes and the environment are obviously important in the pathogenesis of NIDDM, but it remains unclear exactly how these interactions occur and how to adequately account for these effects when searching for genes contributing to diabetes. The realization that gene-environment interactions are significant, and may be the dominant mechanism increasing susceptibility to NIDDM, should encourage further investigations. Future progress in studying the genetics of NIDDM and other complex diseases will come not only from technical advances currently in development, but also from advances in understanding the pathophysiology of the disease and the role of gene-environment...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
