Diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized as a metabolic decompensation that raises blood glucose levels, either by less/non-insulin production by pancreatic β-cells (type 1) or by insulin resistance from cell receptors that require glucose absorption for normal metabolism processes (type 2) (Friedman et al., 2019; Mekala and Bertoni, 2020). The gene discussed is INS; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
