Abstract excerpt
Genetic factors play a role in the regulation of glucose metabolism-related traits such as insulin sensitivity (S(I)), insulin secretion, and glucose effectiveness (S(G)). Several genomic scans have been performed to localize genes involved in glucose metabolism-related traits. However, few of these studies have been performed with phenotypes derived from the frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test...
