Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels due to either the body’s inability to produce enough insulin (Type 1 diabetes) or the cells’ resistance to insulin (Type 2 diabetes). Diabetes affects millions of people all around the world. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form and is the leading cause of many complications such as kidney failure, heart disease, and loss of vision. This study’s purpose is to identify and assess the pathogenicity of SIM1 variants associated with Diabetes.
