Aspects of autoantibody epitopes in type 1 diabetes
… nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs13266634 in the SLC30A8 gene encodes either an arginine (R) or a tryptophan (W) (R325W) at the amino acid (aa) position 325 in the ZnT8 protein. Autoantibodies that recognize ZnT8-arginine (ZnT8RA), ZnT8-tryptophan (ZnT8WA), or both, but restricted by the …

Maf and Mitf transcription factors regulate pancreatic endocrine cell differentiation and function
… (Nnat), islet-specific zinc transporter (Slc30a8), islet-specific glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit-2 protein (G6pc2) and Microphthalmia associated transcription factor (Mitf) are downregulated in embryonic and adult mutant pancreata. In contrast, the mRNA level of Retinol Binding …

Mechanisms by which variants in the TCF7L2 gene increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a heterogeneous disease with a multifactorial aetiology comprising of genetic and environmental factors. The common variant most highly associated with T2DM known to date is a SNP rs7903146 in the TCF7L2 gene. However, the role TCF7L2 plays in the development of …
