Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex metabolic derangement that has a strong genetic basis. There is substantial population-specificity in the association of genetic variants with T2D. The Indian urban Sindhi population is at a high risk of T2D.

- The study investigates the genetic and environmental factors contributing to type 2 diabetes within Sindhi families in central India, an ethnic group with limited research in this area.
- It involved 1,152 individuals from 112 families and found that specific body measurements, such as waist and hip circumference, are significantly associated with type 2 diabetes risk.
- The results highlight the heritability of both anthropometric traits and diabetes, suggesting that further genetic research is needed to understand the condition better in this population.
