KLF14 Gene Responsible for Obesity and Diabetes

In London, recently King’s college has conducted studies and discovered the gene responsible for obesity and diabetes.  The gene reffered in the study can regulate the body fat and also cholesterol level and it is possible to make treatment of type 2 diabetes in near future.

The study is sponsored by the Welcome Trust and includes not only the King’s College in England but also being done at Oxford University, the University of Geneva and Welcome Trust Sanger Institute.

The study found that the KLF14 cell was known responsible to regulate the metabolic rate. This gene is inherent in the human body and switched on to the children from parents and ultimately leads to Gene related disease. However, some more research is required, but we are waiting for treatment of type 2 diabetes may possible in near future.
