New China net Tokyo, January 9 – (by Liu Zan) Japanese researchers on 8th published American Humanity inherited in the society publication to publish a paper saying, they discovered in the human body a gene variation may cause not the obese Asian troubleⅡDiabetes risk increases.

    From University of Tokyo and other organization the researchers note, in including Japanese Asian country, manyⅡThe diabetic does not look like the European and American countriesⅡThe diabetic is so obese. Therefore, they have carried on the gene analysis to diabetics and the family Japan, finally discovered that gene “KCNJ15” on a basic group\’s variation concerns with this.

    The researchers discovered that in all diabetics, has the above variation person to account for 10.2%. But in the healthy person, has this kind of gene variation only accounts for 6.1%. The researchers said that no matter degree of stoutness, gene variation troubleⅡDiabetes\’ risk is normal person\’s approximately 1.7 times. But is in the non-obese crowd, the gene variation\’s sick risk is normal person\’s approximately 2.5 times.

    In addition, researchers also discovered that in Denmark, no matter is the diabetic or the healthy person, presents the above gene variation the person accounts for the proportion less than 2%. The researchers extrapolated that this kind of variation possibly is Asian\’s common feature.

    The researchers pointed out that this research results have promulgated the non-obese diabetes\’ pathogenesis, will be advantageous to developing the corresponding method of treatment. But if has gene variation person to be ahead of time to know own body\’s characteristic, can usually pay attention to the habits and customs the diabetes prevention.
