Neanderthals 'diabetes gene' found!

In Latin America, agreed to increase the risk of developing diabetes type a gene, known as the closest relatives of modern humans Neanderthals 'legacy' turned out to be.

Modern human race have left Africa about 60-70 thousand years later is known to interfere with the Neanderthal race .

This , of all non- African Neanderthal genes implicated in genome map means .

Nature ( Nature) , according to research released by the magazine more than 8 thousand Mexicans and other Latin Americans made ??in gene analysis ( GWAS ) have common features across a gene . GWAS studies, in order to determine whether common feature analysis on different individuals is discussed .

High- risk ratio of those who have the gene , that gene, the risk of developing diabetes compared to those without was understood that more than 25 percent of .

Both mother and father through both the risk of developing diabetes in which this gene was increased by 50 percent .

' SLC16A11 ' named this gene , which is among Latin Americans also have come across half of the descendants of Indians .

This gene detected in approximately 20 percent in East Asians who ediliyork , in the continents of Europe and Africa, it was stated that uncommon .

'A new clue '

Massachusetts, USA at Harvard University Medical School and the Max Planck Evolutionary Anthropology Institute's joint research in the Siberian Denisova Cave in the living Neanderthal identified in the SLC16A11 gene ' Type 2 ' diabetes disease risk associated with that was revealed.

According to the analysis made , SLC16A11 gene, Neanderthals and modern humans, mankind has passed through interference .

Neanderthal genes are found in very sparse . Today, about 2 percent of the genes of non- African origin of up to 30 thousand years ago in eastern Europe and Asia dating from 300-400 thousand Neanderthals are known to have lived for years .

Scientists have recently identified epigenetic effects Neanderthals began .

Research officer at the Broad Institute in Massachusetts for David Altshuler of the authors , " one of the most exciting aspects of this study , patients with diabetes have discovered a new clue about the biological structure of our being ," he said .

SLC16A11 gene, which is linked to the body's response to a variety of chemical molecules ( metabolites ) gene family coding for proteins carrying part .

Changing SLC16A11 protein levels , leading to the risk of diabetes can lead to a change in the amount of oil type . Research results slc16a11 affecting fat in cells , thus increasing the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes may be associated with a show that transport of metabolites .
