Knowledge discovery in genetics of diabetes in Iran, a roadmap for future researches.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The pathogenesis of diabetes is considered polygenic as a result of complex interactions between genetic/epigenetic and environmental factors. This review intended to evaluate the scientometric and knowledge gap of diabetes genetics researches conducted in Iran as a case of developing countries, and drawn up a roadmap for future studies.

Methods

We searched Scopus and PubMed databases from January 2015 until December 2019 using the keywords: (diabetes OR diabetic) AND (Iran). All publications were reviewed by two experts and after choosing relevant articles, they were categorized based on the subject, level of evidence, study design, publication year, and type of genetic studies.

Results

Of 10,540 records, 428 articles were met the inclusion criteria. Generall
