Association of genetic variants with macronutrient intake in Circassian and Chechan populations in relation to diabetes

we have identified a genetic association between intake of carbohydrate, calorie, vitamin B2 and caffeine in the Circassian population and calorie intake in the Chechan population. Three of these intake traits (carbohydrate, calorie and vitamin B2) were correlated with T2D development in Circassians. The association between macronutrient intake and diabetes development can shed light on causative variants for the pathogenesis of T2D.
