Abstract excerpt
The PEA15 gene encoding a protein kinase C substrate is widely expressed, and its overexpression may contribute to impairment of glucose uptake. PEA15 is located within a region on human 1q linked with type 2 diabetes in both Pima Indians and Caucasians. To assess the potential contribution of genetic alterations within this locus to disease susceptibility in the Pimas, we have investigated its genomic sequences....
