Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) prevalence has been rapidly increasing in the last decades. T2DM pathogenesis is related to insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) is concerned about T2DM risk through the involvement in adipocyte differentiation and energy homeostasis. The present study aimed to find the risk associated with a common genetic variant (Pro12Ala) of the PPARG gene in the development of T2DM in a group of the Iranian population.
