Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS01:11

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.5K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational

2.2K
Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...

Carbohydrate Metabolism01:36

Carbohydrate Metabolism

10.8K
Carbohydrates are polymers composed of molecules containing atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. One gram of carbohydrate can provide four kilo-calories of energy, which makes it the most efficient instant energy source.
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes01:20

Pathophysiology of Diabetes

868
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

Polygenic Traits01:18

Polygenic Traits

64.8K
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Diabetes Mellitus: Overview and Type I Subtype

2.4K
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels due to inadequate insulin production, insulin resistance, or both. The condition affects millions worldwide and can significantly impact their health and quality of life.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Metabolic Diseases
  • Cardiovascular Diseases

Background:

  • Type 2 diabetes (T2D) frequently co-occurs with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).
  • The causal relationship between T2D and CVD is complex, potentially involving shared genetic factors.
  • Investigating shared genetic susceptibility is crucial for understanding disease etiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if a common genetic susceptibility exists between T2D and various CVD subtypes.
  • To explore the predictive value of T2D genetic risk for CVD incidence.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized large-scale datasets from the UK Biobank (UKB) and DIAGRAM consortium.
  • Employed phenotypic association, linkage disequilibrium score (LDSC) analysis, and polygenic risk score (PRS) analysis.
  • Examined genetic associations between T2D and CVD subtypes including angina, heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction (MI), peripheral vascular disease (PVD), stroke, and atrial fibrillation (AF).

Main Results:

  • LDSC analysis revealed significant genetic associations between T2D and multiple CVD subtypes (angina, HF, MI, PVD, stroke).
  • No significant genetic association was found between T2D and atrial fibrillation (AF).
  • Individuals with a high T2D polygenic risk score (PRS) exhibited a significantly elevated risk of CVD.

Conclusions:

  • Evidence suggests a shared genetic basis underlying T2D and several CVDs.
  • Genetic susceptibility to T2D may serve as a potential predictor for cardiovascular disease risk.
  • Further research into shared genetic pathways can inform preventative strategies for comorbid conditions.
