What is deCODE T2?
deCODE T2™ is a reference laboratory test that measures four of the strongest gene markers validated for elevated risk of developing T2D independent of other risk factors, and identifies as well those prediabetics most likely to progress to full-blown T2D. The DNA markers included in deCODE T2™ are located in or near the following genes: TCF7L2, PPARG, CDKAL1, and CDKN2A and have each been widely replicated in 10 to 40 independent populations.
