Abstract excerpt
Multiple mutations of the insulin receptor (INSR) gene have been identified in individuals with extreme insulin resistance. These mutations have included recombination events between Alu repeat units in the tyrosine kinase-encoding beta-chain region of the gene. To evaluate the influence of Alu a...
