Insights

Research shows a growing focus on genome variability in coronary heart disease (CHD) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Bibliometric analysis maps this increasing academic attention to guide future genetic research and precision medicine.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Cardiology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global mortality, with heart attacks and strokes accounting for 85% of deaths.
  • Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) have a higher risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD).
  • Genetic polymorphisms play a role in the onset, progression, and complications of both CHD and T2DM.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To map the research landscape on genome variability in relation to coronary heart disease (CHD) development in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
  • To utilize bibliometric analysis to understand trends and key contributors in this research area.

Main Methods:

  • Bibliometric analysis of publications from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection and Scopus databases.
  • Data collected from 1987 to January 2023.
  • Analysis performed using RStudio v.4.1.2.

Main Results:

  • A significant increase in research output was observed after 2004, indicating growing academic interest.
  • The Lancet and Nature Genetics are key journals, and the United States leads in research productivity.
  • Author S. Humphries is noted for significant contributions to the field.

Conclusions:

  • Bibliometric analysis provides valuable direction for future research into genetic factors in CHD and T2DM.
  • Increased attention to genome variability may spur deeper investigation into specific polymorphisms and their mechanisms.
  • Findings can inform collaborations and therapeutic innovations, promoting precision medicine for at-risk T2DM populations.

Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational

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...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes01:20

Pathophysiology of Diabetes

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,...

Diabetes Mellitus: Overview and Type I Subtype

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...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

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...

Carbohydrate Metabolism01:36

Carbohydrate Metabolism

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...

Genetic Variation01:25

Genetic Variation

Genetic variation is the diversity in DNA sequences found among individuals of the same species. This diversity is crucial for a species' survival because it helps organisms adapt to environmental changes. Genetic variation begins with fertilization, where an egg and sperm cell merge. Each of these cells carries 23 chromosomes, up to 46 in the fertilized egg. Chromosomes are long DNA strands that contain genes, the basic units of heredity.
Genes exist in different versions called alleles,...
