The present study was conducted to confirm possible associations between candidate genes from genome-wide association studies and type 2 diabetes in Japanese diabetic patients and a community-based general population. A total of 11 previously reported single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the TCF7L2, CDKAL1, HHEX, IGF2BP2, CDKN2A/B, SLC30A8, and KCNJ11 genes were analyzed.

    Early studies on dietary mutagenesis were mostly observational, with large numbers of potential dietary mutagens being identified from every conceivable dietary source. These included known dietary carcinogens such as aflatoxin B1 and benzo[a]pyrene, and hitherto unrecognized dietary mutagens, such...
