Core Tip |
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a heterogeneous complex disorder, in which predisposing genetic variants (polymorphisms) and precipitating environmental factors interact synergistically in the development of the disease. Besides being useful in identifying individuals at risk for T2DM, knowledge of the polymorphisms associated with T2DM is also useful in pharmacogenetics for correlating individual variants with individual responses to anti-diabetic drugs. To date, a wide variety of genes that influence pharmacogenetics of anti-diabetic drugs have been identified. However, with few exceptions, drug therapy has not taken into account the individual genetic diversity of treated patients, representing, this, a substantial limitation of pharmacogenetics. This review focuses on clinically important polymorphisms affecting a patient’s response to diabetic medications.
