Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations in predicting type 2 diabetes (T2D) among men and women, particularly in relation to ischemic stroke (IS).
- A matched case-control design involved 373 T2D patients and 327 healthy individuals, analyzing mtDNA haplogroups and conducting functional tests on a subset of participants.
- Results indicated specific mtDNA haplogroups (B4a1a, E2b1) are linked to T2D risk, highlighting a higher susceptibility in men and the influence of age on IS occurrence, while pointing to the need for deeper understanding of mitochondrial function in T2D development.
