Abstract excerpt
A population of 103 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) was screened for mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of the insulin receptor gene. Patient genomic DNAs corresponding to exons 17-21 of the insulin receptor gene have been amplified by polymerase chain reaction and analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). One patient was identified with an altered pattern of...
