Ala54Thr Diabetes Gene raises risk of Type 2 Diabetes

Ala54Thr Diabetes Gene raises risk of Type 2 Diabetes

St. Louis scientists have discovered a gene variant responsible for increasing a person's risk for type 2 diabetes. People with the Ala54Thr diabetes gene absorb and burn fat quicker after a meal which could slow down the removal of sugar from the blood stream. This information could lead to a new diabetes drug.
