Common variants associated with type 2 diabetes in a black South African population of Setswana descent: African populations diverge
Chikwore, T.; Conradie, K.R.; Towers, G.W.; Van Zyl, T. (American Society for Nutrition, 2015)The increasing worldwide prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a serious global health concern. Although T2D has a strong genetic etiology, limited knowledge exists about the common variants associated with" it ... -
Interactions between C-reactive protein genotypes with markers of nutritional status in relation to inflammation
Nienaber-Rousseau, C.; Swanepoel, B.; Dolman, R.C.; Pieters, M.; Conradie, K.R.; Towers, G.W. (Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI), 2014)Inflammation, as indicated by C-reactive protein concentrations (CRP), is a risk factor for chronic diseases. Both genetic and environmental factors affect susceptibility to inflammation. As dietary interventions can ... -
Predictive utility of European derived genetic variants associated with type 2 diabetes in a black South African population
Chikowore, T.; Van Zyl, T.; Conradie, K.R. (Springer, 2016)Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is postulated to have a polygenic etiology. Recently, polygenic risk scores of variants associated with T2D have been noted to be of useful in predicting risk in multiple ethnicities as opposed to ...
