The Prevalent Gly1057Asp Polymorphism in the Insulin Receptor Substrate-2 Gene Is Not Associated with Impaired Insulin Secretion
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Disruption of the insulin receptor substrate-2 was shown to cause type 2 diabetes in mice. This could be largely attributed to abnormal beta-cell development. In humans, a prevalent polymorphism in insulin receptor substrate-2 (Gly1057Asp) was not found be associated with type 2 diabetes in linkage and association studies. We tested the hypothesis that an extreme challenge of the beta cell might reveal subtle...
