Real role of growth factor receptor-binding protein 10: Linking lipid metabolism to diabetes cardiovascular complications.

Cardiovascular complications of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) threaten the health and life of numerous individuals. Recently, growth factor receptor-binding protein 10 (GRB10) was found to play a pivotal role in vascular complications of T2DM, which participates in the regulation of lipid metabolism of T2DM patients. The genetic variation of rs1800504 is closely related to the risk of coronary heart disease in patients with T2DM. The development of GRB10 as a key mediator in the association of lipid metabolism with cardiovascular complications in T2DM is detailed in and may provide new potential concerns for the study of cardiovascular complications in T2DM patients.
