Haptoglobin 2-2 phenotype is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes in Ghana.

Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis - 1 Apr 2006

Quaye Isaac K, Ababio Grace, Amoah Albert G

Abstract excerpt

We have investigated the role of haptoglobin gene polymorphisms in 129 type 2 diabetic patients and 87 non-diabetic subjects, classified by the ADA criteria, in Ghana. The diabetic subjects were recruited consecutively from the National Diabetic Management and Research Center of the University of Ghana Medical School, Korle-Bu, Accra, Ghana and were categorized by their haptoglobin phenotypes. The haptoglobin 2...
