<h4>Context</h4>The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D), particularly among young adults, has been rising steadily during the past 2 decades. T2D, especially in its early-onset subtype, is under genetic control. TRIB3 inhibits insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation and subsequent insulin action. A TRIB3 gain-of-function polymorphism, Q84R (rs2295490), impairs insulin signaling.<h4>Objective</h4>The objective of the study was to verify the association of TRIB3 Q84R with: 1) T2D, either subtyped o ...[more]
