Abstract excerpt
Two restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) near the human islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) gene were examined in 50 Japanese patients with non-insulin-independent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and 54 non-diabetic controls. RFLPs were identified with the enzymes PvuII (A1 = 21 kb and A2 = 18 kb) and BglII (B1 = 9 kb and B2 = 7 kb). These RFLPs were in complete linkage disequilibrium with A1 which was in...
