    考研英语阅读篇章：十倍几率患糖尿病的基因被发现
    A genetic susceptibility that gives a tenfold increased risk of developing
type 2 diabetes has been discovered.
    一个可以导致十倍几率患2型糖尿病的遗传易感性被发现。
    The gene mutation, found in the population of Greenland, will give clues to
the different causes of the condition, say Danish scientists.
    The research, published in Nature, adds to evidence genetics plays a role
in the chances of developing diabetes.
    Other factors included lifestyle, with obesity and a bad diet increasing
risks, said a diabetes charity.
    Several susceptibility genes have been linked with diabetes, meaning that
if an individual is carrying one of these genes they face a greater risk of
developing diabetes.
    Danish researchers say the new mutation is present in almost one in five of
Greenlanders.
    But Prof Torben Hansen, of the University of Copenhagen, said it was not
found in other European, Chinese or African-American populations, suggesting
type 2 diabetes has multiple causes.
    The gene variation raised the risk of type 2 diabetes by up to ten times,
he told BBC News.
    "We have identified a new and novel type 2 diabetes gene with a huge
increased risk due to insulin(胰岛素) resistance in muscle," he added.
    "Type 2 diabetes is not just one disease, it's many diseases."
