Abstract excerpt
The human liver/islet glucose transporter (GLUT2), a candidate gene for diabetes, has been incorporated into a genetic linkage map for chromosome 3q using a (CA)n dinucleotide repeat polymorphism adjacent to the 3'-end of exon 4a. We have found a total of nine alleles ranging in length from 153 t...
