  • Genome-wide association analyses highlight etiological differences underlying newly defined subtypes of diabetes. - Nature genetics (2021) · Mansour Aly D, Dwivedi OP, Prasad RB, Käräjämäki A, Hjort R, Thangam M, Åkerlund M, Mahajan A, Udler MS, Florez JC, McCarthy MI, Brosnan J, Melander O, Carlsson S, Hansson O, Tuomi T, Groop L, Ahlqvist E · PubMed 34737425

    Type 2 diabetes has been reproducibly clustered into five subtypes with different disease progression and risk of complications; however, etiological differences are unknown. We used genome-wide association and genetic risk score (GRS) analysis to compare the underlying genetic drivers. Individuals from the Swedish ANDIS (All New Diabetics In Scania) study were compared to individuals without diabetes; the Finnish DIREVA (Diabetes register in Vasa) and Botnia studies were used for replication. We show that subtypes differ with regard to family history of diabetes and association with GRS for diabetes-related traits. The severe insulin-resistant subtype was uniquely associated with GRS for fasting insulin but not with variants in the TCF7L2 locus or GRS reflecting insulin secretion. Further

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Diet

  • emphasize whole grains, legumes, non-starchy vegetables Moderate

    Low glycemic index dietary patterns improve insulin sensitivity and reduce type 2 diabetes progression in genetically predisposed individuals

    substitute refined grains with whole grains; target 25-35g fiber daily

Discuss with your doctor

  • personalized diabetes prevention and risk stratification Moderate

    Genetic predisposition to insulin resistance requires individualized clinical assessment and preventive strategy

Exercise

  • regular aerobic and resistance exercise Moderate

    Physical activity directly improves insulin sensitivity and is the most modifiable risk factor for preventing type 2 diabetes despite genetic susceptibility

    150 minutes moderate aerobic activity plus 2 days resistance training weekly

Screening

  • fasting glucose and HbA1c at baseline and every 1-2 years Moderate

    rs112480585 T allele associates with severe insulin-resistant type 2 diabetes risk; early detection enables preventive intervention

    fasting glucose, HbA1c, consider fasting insulin at baseline
