The Genetic Variability of Members of the SLC38 Family of Amino Acid Transporters (<i>SLC38A3</i>, <i>SLC38A7</i> and <i>SLC38A9</i>) Affects Susceptibility to Type 2 Diabetes and Vascular Complications

Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a metabolic disease associated with long-term complications, with a multifactorial pathogenesis related to the interplay between genetic and modifiable risk factors, of which nutrition is the most relevant. In particular, the importance of proteins and constitutive amino aci...
