Abstract:
Type 2 diabetes is a common multifactorial genetic syndrome, which is determined by several different genes and environmental factors. With the accomplishment of Human Genome Project and the development of the screening technology for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), many SNP researches have been carried out to determine the genetic factors involved in type 2 diabetes. This article introduces the strategies of SNP studies and reviews the SNP studies of major candidate genes for type 2 diabetes.
