Abstract excerpt
Variability in the number of tandem repeats of the insulin gene (INS VNTR) is probably involved in the genetic regulation of insulin secretion. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of INS VNTR polymorphism with the presence of glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GADA) and C-peptide levels in patients with the onset of diabetes after 35 years of age. We investigated 117 patients, median of...
