Statement of Need
Studies of twins have shown that type 2 diabetes might be influenced by genetics, according to the American Diabetes Association. However, these studies were complicated by the environmental influences that also affect type 2 diabetes risk. Still, scientists have persevered. To date, numerous mutations have been shown to affect type 2 diabetes risk. The contribution of each gene is generally small. However, each additional mutation you have seems to increase your risk.
