I am doing a research paper on the topic - To what extent does genetics play a vital role in one being diagnosed with diabetes?
I have found some material focusing on HLA, Beta - Cells, T- cells, obesity, glucose intolerance, but I am still unclear on my answer to the topic question. If any of you guys have any information please do help me.

Re: Biology
Thanks Colin for your help the article was really helpful.
I tweaked my topic so it can be narrower now I am just looking at how the mutation of the HLA region causes or results in diabetes.
