Diabetes UK says the findings could lead to new ways of preventing disease
Type 2 diabetes - which affects millions of Britons - shares genetic connections with breast, bowel and pancreatic cancer, scientists say. A new study showed how genetic variants, which are differences in sequences of genes, can simultaneously affect multiple health conditions.
Hundreds of different genetic variants have already been identified as contributing to type 2, and it is known that genetics can increase the risk of cancer. However, the genetic factors that contribute to the link between type 2 diabetes and increased cancer risk have been poorly understood until now.
One variant was linked to the risk of developing both breast cancer and type 2 diabetes, while the other affected type 2 diabetes and breast, bowel and pancreatic cancer risk. Therefore, the study concluded, that people carrying either of these genetic variants will have an increased chance of developing both type 2 diabetes and these cancers.
