Description

Diabetes Mellitus, also known as Diabetes, is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar, or when the body builds insulin resistance and cannot effectively use the insulin, it produces. Recent studies have shown that in the year 2021, diabetes was the direct cause of 1.6 million deaths and 47% of all deaths due to diabetes occurred before the age of 70 years (World Health Organization). The purpose of this study is to examine and identify the pathogenicity of OAS1 and how it is associated with diabetes.
