The Role of Genetics and Epigenetics in Diabetes Progress.

Genetics and epigenetics play critical roles in the progression and manifestation of diabetes mellitus. Genetic factors contribute significantly to an individual’s susceptibility to developing diabetes, influencing aspects such as insulin production, glucose metabolism, and pancreatic function. Variations in genes associated with insulin secretion (e.g., TCF7L2) and insulin sensitivity (e.g., IRS1) can predispose individuals to type [...]
