Abstract excerpt
This study was performed to test the hypothesis that genetic variation in the promoter of the glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) might predispose to prediabetic phenotypes or type 2 diabetes. A total of 1611 bp comprising the minimal promoter region of the GLUT2 gene were examined by combined single-strand conformational polymorphism and heteroduplex analysis followed by direct sequencing of identified variants on...
