A major gene effect on the fasting insulin level and insulin resistance has been suggested in previous studies. Several candidate genes for insulin resistance in rare syndromes have been proposed. However, there has been limited success in finding genes for common forms of insulin resistance. There is accumulating evidence of a relationship between insulin resistance and a disturbance of free fatty acid (FFA)...
