In this review, we briefly outlined salient features of pathophysiology and results of the genetic association studies hitherto conducted on type 2 diabetes. Primarily focusing on the current status of genomic research, we briefly discussed the limited progress made during the post-genomic era and tried to identify the limitations of the post-genomic research strategies. We suggested reanalysis of the existing genomic data through advanced statistical and computational methods and recommended integrated genomics-metabolomics approaches for future studies to facilitate understanding of the gene-environment interactions in the manifestation of the disease. We also propose a framework for research that may be apt for determining the effects of urbanization and changing lifestyles in the manifestation of complex genetic disorders like type 2 diabetes in the Indian populations and offset the confounding effects of both genetic and environmental factors in the natural way.
