Abstract excerpt
The significance of variation within the genes coding for three glucose transporter proteins in the aetiology of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus was assessed by analysing restriction fragment length polymorphisms in an English Caucasian population. Two polymorphisms at the HepG2/erythrocyte glucose transporter (GLUT1) locus, four at the liver/pancreatic glucose transporter (GLUT2) locus and one at the...
