Diabetes may be associated with increased risk of mild cognitive impairment
Individuals with diabetes may have a higher risk of developing mild cognitive impairment, a condition that involves difficulties with thinking and learning and may be an intermediate step toward Alzheimer's disease, according to a report in the April issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the... view more (2007-04-10)

Diabetes gene carries similar risk to obesity
Carrying two copies of a common variant of a particular gene doubles your chances of developing diabetes and puts you in a similar risk category to being clinically obese, according to a collaborative study led by UCL (University College London) researchers.   view more (2006-10-24)

Major international collaboration offers new clues to genetics of type 2 diabetes
An international collaboration of scientists from Europe and the US has identified six new genes which play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes, extending the total number of genes implicated in common forms of the disease to sixteen.   view more (2008-03-31)
