Therefore, our aim is to conclusively resolve this controversy in the Middle East and North Africa region population through a meta-analysis.
Materiel And Methods: We identified relevant articles by searching literature databases, such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct, to retrieve studies that examined the association between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and the risk of developing T2DM.
Background And Aims: There is tremendous increase in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) worldwide. The impact of FTO gene polymorphisms on the risk of T2DM is not yet clear because of the controversial results of studies. This meta-analysis aimed to better clarify the association between three FTO gene polymorphisms SNPs (rs9939609, rs8050136 and rs17817449) and T2DM in a larger combined population worldwide.
