Abstract excerpt

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Associations between variations in the lymphotoxin-alpha gene (LTA) and myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and type 1 diabetes have previously been reported. We hypothesised that, in its homozygous form, the functional T60N variant of LTA is associated with type 2 diabetes and other features of the metabolic syndrome among Danish Caucasian individuals. METHODS: The T60N polymorphism of...
