Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To establish the impact on the insulin resistance syndrome of the intron 14 Xba1-polymorphism in human muscle glycogen synthase (GYS1). METHODS: Parameters related to the insulin resistance syndrome were measured in 244 monozygotic twins and 322 dizygotic twins with or without impaired glucose tolerance. In addition a standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed. The twins were genotyped for...
