Abstract
The aetiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) involves interactions between genetic, developmental and lifestyle environmental risk factors, which are partly influenced by epigenetic processes. Multhaup and colleagues have combined genome-wide analysis with analyses of an animal model of insulin resistance and tissues from individuals with obesity obtained before and after gastric bypass surgery to identify novel potential pathways that contribute to T2DM pathogenesis
