Causes of Diabetes Genetic and Environmental Factors Edited by R. D. G. Leslie St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, UK There is now firm evidence that a non-genetically determined event plays a major role in the aetiology of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and that this event is due to exposure to an environmental agent. While genetic factors are more important in the pathogenesis of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), environmental factors also play a major role. Causes of Diabetes provides a comprehensive assessment of the causes of NIDDM and IDDM and pays particular attention to the environmental factors involved in disease pathogenesis. Identification of these factors opens the way for therapeutic trials aimed at preventing, even curing, this potentially devastating disease. This book is essential reading for clinicians and researchers working in diabetes, autoimmune and metabolic diseases.
