Master’s Thesis at the College of Pharmacy Discusses the Impact of GLUT4 Gene Polymorphisms on the Response of Type 1 Diabetes Patients to External Insulin Therapy in Iraq
A master’s thesis was discussed at the College of Pharmacy, University of Kerbala, titled “The Impact of GLUT4 Gene Polymorphisms on the Response of Type 1 Diabetes Patients to External Insulin Therapy in Iraq” by researcher Mohammed Suhail Abdul.
The study aimed to evaluate the frequency of two specific gene polymorphisms, rs12143458 and rs5435, in the SLC2A4 gene among type 1 diabetes patients receiving external insulin therapy. It also sought to examine the impact of these polymorphisms on patients’ response to the treatment.
The research concluded that the two gene polymorphisms in SLC2A4 did not show a significant effect on patients’ response to external insulin therapy.
The scientific committee praised the content of the thesis, highlighting its importance in the field of genetic medicine and emphasizing the need for further research to identify genetic factors influencing treatment responses in diabetes patients.
