A multifactor dimensionality reduction model of gene polymorphisms and an environmental interaction analysis in type 2 diabetes mellitus study among Punjabi, a North India population
In conclusion, it is suggested that pathogenesis of T2DM, obesity and hypertension involves interplay of a variety of susceptibility alleles and environment. The gene-gene and gene-environment interactions are not only possible, but, are probably ubiquitous in determining the susceptibility of complex human diseases. Further studies on epistatic interactions are warranted to elucidate their possible underlying role in pathogenesis of T2DM.
