Using genetic admixture to explain racial differences in insulin-related phenotypes.

Diabetes - 1 Apr 2003

Gower Barbara A, Fernández José R, Beasley T Mark, Shriver Mark D, Goran Michael I

Abstract excerpt

Documented differences in measures of insulin secretion and action between African Americans and European Americans may be due to either genetic or environmental factors. This study used genetic admixture (ADM), determined from approximately 20 ancestry informative markers, and a questionnaire designed to assess socioeconomic status (SES) to examine potential genetic and environmental contributions to minimal...
