Variants of the insulin receptor substrate-1 and fatty acid binding protein 2 genes and the risk of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and hyperinsulinemia in African-Americans: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study.

Abstract excerpt

We conducted a community-based case-control study of African-American men and women in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study. The allele frequencies of the Gly972Arg variant of the insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) gene and the Ala54Thr variant of the fatty acid binding protein 2 (FABP2) gene were compared in 992 normal control subjects and three patient groups: 1) 321 type 2 diabetic individuals, 2)...
