Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Mutations in the islet amyloid polypeptide ( IAPP) gene may play a potential role in the abnormal regulation or expression of the peptide. The aim of this study was to determine the functional role of the -132 G/A mutation reported in the promoter region of the IAPP gene in a population of Spanish Type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS: We investigated the transcriptional activity using MIN6 cells and...
