Abstract excerpt
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) plays an important role in the development and function of pancreatic beta-cells and contributes to infant growth, which we recently reported to be associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Here, we studied an IGF1 microsatellite in 206 families with T1D and its interaction with the polymorphism near the insulin (INS) gene variable number of tandem repeats. The IGF1 microsatellite...
