Genome-wide studies of transcription in the skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic patients have identified coordinated changes in the expression of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, and have underlined the central role of the oxidative-phosphorylation regulator, PCG1α. These findings help unravel the complex pathogenesis and inheritance of polygenic type 2 diabetes mellitus. |
