The TCF7L2 gene controls a protein involved in growth and blood sugar regulation. Variations in this gene are the strongest genetic risk factor for type 2 diabetes, where the body struggles to control blood sugar levels. Research is ongoing to understand how TCF7L2 influences diabetes risk and explore potential future treatments.
