Abstract excerpt
Insulin resistance is believed to be under the control of several genes often interacting each other. However, whether genetic epistasis does in fact modulate human insulin sensitivity is unknown. In 338 healthy unrelated subjects from Sicily, all nondiabetic and not morbidly obese, we investigated whether two gene polymorphisms previously associated with insulin resistance (namely PC-1 K121Q and PPARgamma2 P12A)...
