The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) underlines the urgent need for proactive strategies to prevent and control T2D. A fairly large number of studies show that T2D is a complex metabolic disease caused by lifestyle, environment and genetic factors. Thus, the study of a genetic predisposition to diabetes is of great importance. At the same time, one of the most effective methods, besides genome-wide researches, is the use of polymorphic markers of various candidate genes, i.e., those genes, protein products of which (enzymes, regulatory proteins and peptides, structural proteins) can be potentially involved in the development of this disease. The study of genetic markers of type 2 diabetes association is relevant worldwide. The aim of this study was to search for genetic markers associated with the development of T2D in individuals of the Kazakh population.
