Genetic predisposition to diabetes high in Indians
Genes play an important role in determining the quality of life we live.
Pro12Ala of PPAR-gamma2 (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor - gamma2) gene protects against Diabetic Type II. Polymorphism of this gene occurred in both Caucasian and Indians, but, as it turned out - this polymorphed gene offered protection to Caucasians and not to Indians. The reason to this phenomenon is unknown.
