Abstract excerpt
The insulin receptor substrate-2 (IRS-2) is a major insulin signalling molecule. IRS-2 inactivation in mice induces a form of diabetes characterized by peripheral insulin resistance and reduced beta cell mass. We tested the hypothesis that a common non-conservative amino acid substitution of IRS-2 (G1057D) might interact with overweight in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. The variant was genotyped in 193...
