Abstract excerpt
We sequenced the promoter and coding regions of PCK1 encoding cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase from genomic DNA of subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). We found nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were present with varying allele frequencies and pairwise linkage disequilibrium relationships in different ethnic groups. The -232C-->G promoter SNP was within a cis-acting element...
