| Summary: | Diabetes is a chronic group of metabolic disorders those generally present with hyperglycemia hence insulin synthesis defects due to multifactorial causes in beta cells in the Langerhans islets of the pancreas. In the development of diabetes, genetic predisposition is as important as environmental factors. As a result of polymorphism studies in diabetic patients, many genes were associated with the development of diabetes. In our study, we aimed to represent the relationship between diabetes and certain variants of the ghrelin (GHRL), fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator (PGC-1α) genes which are generally associated with diabetes and obesity.
