Abstract Background By 2045, it is expected that 693 million individuals worldwide will have diabetes and with greater risk of morbidity, mortality, loss of vision, renal failure, and a decreased quality of life due to the devastating effects of macro- and microvascular complications. As such, clinical variables and glycemic control alone cannot predict the onset of vascular problems. An increasing body of research points to the importance of genetic predisposition in the onset of both diabetes and diabetic vascular complications. Objectives Purpose of this article is to review these approaches and narrow down genetic findings for Diabetic Mellitus and its consequences, highlighting the gaps in the literature necessary to further genomic discovery. Material and methods In the past, studies looking for genetic risk factors for diabetes complications relied on methods such as candidate gene studies, which were rife with false positives, and underpowered genome-wide association studies, which were constrained by small sample sizes. Results The number of genetic findings for diabetes and diabetic complications has over doubled due to the discovery of novel genomics data, including bioinformatics and the aggregation of global cohort studies. Using genetic analysis to determine whether diabetes individuals are at the most risk for developing diabetic vascular complications (DVC) might lead to the development of more accurate early diagnostic biomarkers and the customization of care plans. Conclusions A newer method that uses extensive evaluation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in big datasets is Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS). |
