Linkage of the Human Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene to Type 1 Diabetes<sup>1</sup>
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
Exposure of human pancreatic islets to a mixture of cytokines induces expression of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), impairs beta-cell function, and induces apoptosis. We performed a mutational scanning of all 27 exons of the human NOS2 gene and linkage transmission disequilibrium testing of identified NOS2 polymorphisms in a Danish nationwide type 1 diabetes mellitus (IDDM) family collection....
