FTO gene variants are strongly associated with type 2 diabetes in South Asian Indians.

FTO gene variants are strongly associated with type 2 diabetes in South Asian Indians.

AIMS AND HYPOTHESIS: Variants of the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene are associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes in white Europeans, but these associations are not consistent in Asians. A recent study in Asian Indian Sikhs showed an association with type 2 diabetes that did not seem...
