Abstract excerpt
LIM-homeodomain containing protein LMX1A activates transcription of the insulin gene. The human LMX1A gene maps to 1q22-q23, a region identified as a putative type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) locus in several different populations. We analyzed LMX1A as a positional and biological candidate gene for T2DM in the Pima Indians, in whom a linkage of T2DM to 1q21-q23 has been previously reported. In the present study,...
