Abstract excerpt
Although insulin secretion is commonly increased and glucose tolerance decreased in young obese patients, there is a wide individual variability of these parameters. We investigated whether common variants at the Kir6.2 (KCNJ11) and insulin variable number of tandem repeat (INS VNTR) loci are associated with insulin or glucose levels in 388 obese children. The E23K and INS VNTR alleles showed no significant...
