"U.S. and European scientists have found six more genes that make people more susceptible to developing type 2 diabetes, in a study they say may help prevent and treat the chronic condition.
The finding extends the total number of genes linked to the disease to 16 and provides clues to how the biological mechanisms that control blood sugar levels go awry when people get type 2 diabetes, the researchers said.
'None of the genes we have found was previously on the radar screen of diabetes researchers,' said Mark McCarthy, a diabetes researcher at the University of Oxford, who co-led the study.
'Each of these genes therefore provides new clues to the processes that go wrong when diabetes develops, and each provides an opportunity for the generation of new approaches for treating or preventing this condition.'"
And they'll find more and more and more...
The "cure" is not going to happen genetically.
It will happen orally.
