... One example is the SLC30A8 gene. This gene makes a protein that helps store and stabilize insulin in the pancreas. People with certain variations of this gene may be able to release more insulin when blood sugar levels are high (known as hyperglycemia).Many other genes likely affect a person’s risk of type 2 diabetes. ...

... Monogenic DiabetesMonogenic diabetes is a rare form of diabetes caused by a mutation (variant, or change) in a single gene and makes up 2 percent to 3 percent of diabetes cases diagnosed before age 35, according to Diabetes in America. The mutated gene is usually inherited from one or both parents but can also happen spontaneously. ...

... These tests include: An MRI to see your organs, especially your liver, and determine if you have liver disease A liver biopsy to check for specific types of liver damage and determine their extent A genetic test to see if you carry the gene mutations known to cause hereditary hemochromatosis Other liver tests to see how well your liver is working Together ...

... Some people have gene variants (changes in specific genes) that affect their pancreas, which is the gland that produces insulin.ObesityObesity is one of several other health conditions that raise your risk of diabetes. Extra body weight, especially around the waist, can make it harder for your body to use insulin. ...
