Abstract excerpt
In an effort to identify genetic polymorphisms in potential candidate genes for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), we have sequenced the transforming growth factor beta-induced gene (TGFBI), and examined the association with T2DM and diabetic phenotypes in a Korean T2DM study (775 T2DM patients and 316 normal controls). Twenty-eight polymorphisms were identified in TGFBI. Although no significant associations were...
