Most cases of diabetes mellitus type 2 involved many genes contributing small amount to the overall condition. As of 2011 more than 36 genes have been found that contribute to the risk of type 2 diabetes. All of these genes together still only account for 10% of the total genetic component of the disease.〔 There are a number of rare cases of diabetes that arise due to an abnormality in a single gene (known as monogenic forms of diabetes).〔 These include maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), Donohue syndrome, and Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome, among others.〔 Maturity onset diabetes of the young constitute 1–5% of all cases of diabetes in young people. ==Polygenic== Genes associated with developing type 2 diabetes, include ''TCF7L2'', ''PPARG'', ''FTO'', ''KCNJ11'',''NOTCH2'', ''WFS1'', ''IGF2BP2'', ''SLC30A8'', ''JAZF1'', ''HHEX'' among others.''KCNJ11'' (potassium inwardly rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 11), encodes the islet ATP-sensitive potassium channel Kir6.2, and ''TCF7L2'' (transcription factor 7–like 2) regulates proglucagon gene expression and thus the production of glucagon-like peptide-1. In addition, there is also a mutation to the Islet Amyloid Polypeptide gene that results in an earlier onset, more severe, form of diabetes. Various hereditary conditions may feature diabetes, for example myotonic dystrophy and Friedreich's ataxia. Wolfram's syndrome is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder that first becomes evident in childhood. It consists of diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness, hence the acronym DIDMOAD. While obesity is an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes that may be linked to lifestyle, obesity is also a trait that may be strongly inherited. Other research also shows that type 2 diabetes can cause obesity as an effect of the changes in metabolism and other deranged cell behavior attendant on insulin resistance. However, environmental factors (almost certainly diet and weight) play a large part in the development of type 2 diabetes in addition to any genetic component. Genetic risk for type 2 diabetes changes as humans first began migrating around the world, implying a strong environmental component has affected the genetic-basis of type 2 diabetes. This can be seen from the adoption of the type 2 diabetes epidemiological pattern in those who have moved to a different environment as compared to the same genetic pool who have not. Immigrants to Western developed countries, for instance, may be more prone to diabetes as compared to its lower incidence in their countries of origins.〔Cotran, Kumar, Collins; Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease,Saunders Sixth Edition, 1999; 913-926.〕 Such developments can also be found in environments which have had a recent increase in social wealth, increasingly common throughout Asia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Genetic causes of diabetes mellitus type 2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
