Abstract excerpt
It has recently been shown that the A/A genotype at g.-23 of the insulin gene correlates with impaired insulin secretion in response to body weight gain in subjects of European descent. To examine whether there are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the insulin gene associated with type 2 diabetes, all exons with their flanking sequences for 113 Japanese type 2 diabetic patients and 99 nondiabetic control...
