Recent study has revealed that the microbiota is subjected to variations in the host’s high triglycerides, fasting glucose and fasting insulin (Bhute et al., 2017), and metabolic disorders such as obesity (Turnbaugh et al., 2006) and diabetes (Qin et al., 2012; Karlsson et al., 2013) are found to be associated with microbial composition in which certain OTUs or species are present in different proportions. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is Other metabolic disease.
