Polymorphisms in the Insulin-Degrading Enzyme Gene Are Associated With Type 2 Diabetes in Men From the NHLBI Framingham Heart Study
1 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
Linkage studies have mapped a susceptibility gene for type 2 diabetes to the long arm of chromosome 10, where we have previously identified a quantitative trait locus that affects fasting blood glucose within the Framingham Heart Study cohort. One candidate gene in this region is the insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE), which, in the GK rat model, has been associated with nonobese type 2 diabetes. Single nucleotide...
