Summary:
Background: The racial variation in genetic susceptibility
of Type2 diabetes mellitus is well established. The stages of
impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and/or Impaired glucose
tolerance (IGT) (collectively known as ‘prediabetic stages)
are combined to be intermediate in the natural history of
diabetes, but their genetic susceptibility are still a matter of
investigation. Family study is the primary step to explore
genetic susceptibility. In particular, there has been no study
in Bangladesh related to genetics of prediabetes.
