BackgroundIndia, characterised as the "diabetes capital" of the world, faces a rapidly increasing diabetes crisis with over 65 million cases diagnosed. Despite the growing prevalence, the genetic underpinnings of insulin resistance (IR) among Indians with normal BMI remain understudied. This research aims to fill the knowledge gap by investigating the association of specific gene variants (RNF138, ABCA1, and ESRRG-GPATCH2) with IR risk in this demographic. MethodsA total of 191 participants (90...
