although genetics can be considered a risk factor for iddm , if u compare both the genetic linkage with niddm is stronger than iddm so please note that enviormental and autoimmune factors play a greater role in iddm and genetics and obesity are the most important factor in niddm , but then obesity is also very often linked genetically isnt is ?
