Abstract excerpt

Abnormalities in insulin regulation are central to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. We assessed variation in the insulin gene variable number tandem repeat (INS VNTR) minisatellite (using the -23Hph1 A/T single nucleotide polymorphism) as a risk factor for 92 cases of incident type 2 diabetes in 883 unrelated Framingham Heart Study (FHS) subjects and in a separate sample of 698 members of 282 FHS nuclear...
