Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The genetic architecture of model-derived parameters of beta cell function has never been assessed. Therefore, we estimated heritability (h(2)) for model-derived phenotypes of insulin secretion in twins. METHODS: Thirty-three monozygotic (MZ) and 23 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs from the Finnish Twin Cohort Study underwent an OGTT (plasma glucose/C-peptide at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min). A subset of...
