Epidemiology and genetics go hand in hand in Diabetes, confirming and providing clinical bases foreseen by our predecessors. They provide more solid scientific bases to search for markers that will allow us to detect susceptible populations earlier and thus eliminate or correct risk factors. We may be able to select the subjects at greater risk, for appropriate pre-marital and gestational counseling. This is a wide and promising field for investigation that will result in better prevention and diagnosis, as well as in improved therapy and prognosis.
在糖尿病领域，流行病学与遗传学紧密相连，证实并提供了我们前辈所预见的临床依据。它们为寻找标志物提供了更坚实的科学基础，这些标志物将使我们能够更早地检测出易感人群，从而消除或纠正风险因素。我们或许能够挑选出风险更高的对象，进行适当的婚前和孕期咨询。这是一个广阔且充满前景的研究领域，将带来更好的预防、诊断，以及改善治疗和预后。
