Providing a fresh ray of hope for diabetic patients, scientists have identified a new gene associated with fasting glucose and insulin levels in rats, mice and in humans.
Researchers have identified a gene called Tpcn2, a variant of which was associated with fasting glucose levels in a rat model.
The team has also identified variants within Tpcn2 associated with fasting insulin in humans.
Tpcn2 plays a role in insulin signalling.
