Epigenetic pathways and risk factors for Type 2 Diabetes in a Middle Eastern Cohort

2025Open accessAlexandria University

Abstract

Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex metabolic disorder influenced by genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Triglycerides and lipoproteins play a role in the development and progression of both macro and micro vascular complications of diabetes and our previous studies demonstrated a correlation between DNA methylation of genes associated with diabetes and diabetes metabolic pathways. We now investigate the association of DNA methylation in diabetes with alterations in lipoproteins and triglycerides and genomic risk scores (GRS), in subjects from the Qatar Biobank population. We have identified TXNIP and PFKFB2 gene methylation to have a mechanistic link with altered lipoproteins and triglycerides in T2D.
