Genetics of Diabetes Mellitus is intended to be a resource for both
researchers in the field as well as endocrinologists,
diabetologists, and geneticists who seek to learn more about this
rapidly changing and important field. The text contains chapters
from experts in the area who review aspects of the genetics of both
type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus as well as various syndromic forms
of diabetes. The chapters are approachable for those who are not
experts in the field of genetics but also comprehensive, so as to
serve as an important resource for researchers interested in the
genetics of diabetes mellitus. A description of basic concepts of
the genetics of complex diseases like type 1 and type 2 diabetes is
provided as background. Type 1 diabetes is addressed in chapters
exploring genetic determinants that affect the autoimmune process
characteristic of type 1 diabetes, the role of the insulin gene in
the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes and additional genes that may
impact upon the risk of type 1 diabetes. The impact of genetic
determinants on the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes is covered,
as are chapters that address specific genes that are important for
the development of type 2 diabetes. Finally, syndromic forms of
diabetes, including Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young and
mitochondrial diabetes, and the insight that these disorders
provide into more common forms of diabetes are reviewed. Thus, this
comprehensive and up-to-date text will serve as an important
resource for those actively engaged in research in this area and
clinicians treating these patients to provide an up-to-date entree
for those seeking to become more knowledgeable in the area.
