Abstract excerpt

AIM/HYPOTHESIS: Urotensin II is a potent vasoactive hormone and the urotensin II gene (UTS2) is localized to 1p36-p32, one of the regions reported to show possible linkage with Type 2 diabetes in Japanese subjects. The aim of this study is to investigate a possible contribution of SNPs in the UTS2 gene to the development of Type 2 diabetes. METHODS: We surveyed SNPs in the UTS2 gene in 152 Japanese subjects with...
