The text  contains chapters from experts in the area who review aspects of the  genetics of both type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus as well as various  syndromic forms of diabetes. The chapters are approachable for those  who are not experts in the field of genetics but also comprehensive,  so as to serve as an important resource for researchers interested in  the genetics of diabetes mellitus. \u003cbr\u003e  A description of basic concepts of the genetics of complex diseases  like type 1 and type 2 diabetes is provided as background. Type 1  diabetes is addressed in chapters exploring genetic determinants that  affect the autoimmune process characteristic of type 1 diabetes, the  role of the insulin gene in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes and  additional genes that may impact upon the risk of type 1 diabetes. The  impact of genetic determinants on the pathophysiology of type 2  diabetes is covered, as are chapters that address specific genes that  are important for the development of type 2 diabetes. Finally,  syndromic forms of diabetes, including Maturity Onset Diabetes of the  Young and mitochondrial diabetes, and the insight that these disorders  provide into more common forms of diabetes are reviewed. \u003cbr\u003e  Thus, this comprehensive and up-to-date text will serve as an  important resource for those actively engaged in research in this area  and clinicians treating these patients to provide an up-to-date  entrée for those seeking to become more knowledgeable in the  area.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792372523\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1597-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 255\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265576390796,"sku":"9780792372523","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792372523.jpg?v=1770785209","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792372523","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
