ABSTRACT
The demarcation between monogenic and polygenic type 2 diabetes (T2D) is less distinct than previously believed. Notably, recent research has highlighted a new entity, that we suggest calling oligogenic forms of T2D, serving as a genetic link between these two forms. In this opinion article, we have reviewed scientific advances that suggest categorizing genes involved in oligogenic T2D. Research focused on polygenic T2D has faced challenges in deepening our comprehension of the pathophysiology of T2D due to the inability to directly establish causal links between a signal and the molecular mechanisms underlying the disease. However, the study of oligogenic forms of T2D has illuminated distinct causal connections between genes and disease risk, thereby indicating potential new drug targets.
