Is
it only the fat that could potentially have diabetes? No. Recently researchers have discovered a
gene called 'lean genes "that help people maintain their weight.
Unfortunately, these genes also may increase the risk of developing diabetes and heart disease, especially in men, it was reported Dailymail.
The scientists compared the genetic code of more than 75 thousand people with a ratio of fat and muscle in the body. The research reveals there is a very common gene, called IRS1, which is associated with a person's lean body.

IRS1 gene seems to be one of the things that make you think a thousand times to a strict diet. That's because those who have the gene have high levels of harmful blood fats and very difficult to process sugar. It also puts them with a 20 percent higher risk of heart disease and type-2 diabetes that usually develops in middle age, and are often caused by obesity.
In fact people with IRS1 gene usually have levels of fat under the skin is lower than people without the gene IRS1. However, they tend to have fat in other organs. Organ fat that wraps the heart, liver and other internal organs, that is very harmful for the body.
"In simple terms, not just people with obesity who can be stricken with this disease, people who look slim even have the same risk," said Dr. Ruth Loos from the MRC Epidemiology Unit in
According to Dr Ruth Loos, men tend to store less fat than women, and more sensitive to changes in the distribution, which makes men more prone to experience it.
Professor Nick Wareham, adding, this study answers the question why not all people who have good health slim, and conversely why not all obese people with metabolic disease risk.
According to Professor Jeremy Pearson of the British Heart Foundation, the research also reinforces the idea of risk is not just about how fat you are, but also where the location of body fat.
"Fat is stored in the organs in the body worse than the fat stored under the skin," he said.
