Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To define further the role of IRS-1 mutations in human syndromes of severe insulin resistance. METHODS: The IRS-1 gene was scanned for mutations in 83 unrelated affected subjects and 47 unaffected individuals using fluorescent single-strand conformation polymorphism (fSSCP) analysis. A novel heterozygous mutation, Gly1158Glu, was found in one affected subject. Four and two subjects were heterozygous for the...
