Resumen

Background: The aims of this population genetics study were: 1) to ascertain whether Mexicans with type 2 diabetes mellitus ({DM}) were genetically homogeneous and 2) to compare the genetic structure of this selected population with the previously reported data of four random populations (Nuevo Leon, Hispanics, Chihuahua, and Central Region of Mexico). Methods: A sample of 103 unrelated individuals with {DM} and whose 4 grandparents were born in five zones of Mexico was interviewed in 32 Medical Units in the Mexican Institute of Social Security ({IMSS}). The non-coding {STRs} D16S539, D7S820, and D13S317 were analyzed. Results: Genotype distribution was in agreement with Hardy-Weinberg expectations for all three markers. Allele frequencies were found to be similar between the selected population and the four random populations. Gene diversity analysis suggested that more than 99.57\% of the total gene diversity could be attributed to variation between individuals within the population and 0.43\% between the populations. Conclusions: According to the present and previous studies using molecular and non-molecular nuclear {DNA} markers not associated with any disease, the Mexican Mestizo population is found to be genetically homogeneous and therefore the genetic causes of {DM} are less heterogeneous, thereby simplifying genetic epidemiological studies as has been found in a previous study with the same design in Mexican women with breast cancer.
