Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: OBJECTIVE; To determine the effect of a variation of CAG-rich region, which was found in the 5'-regulatory sequence of insulin receptor substrate-1(IRS-1) gene in Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) patients, on gene expression and its mechanism. METHODS: The recombinants, pGL2.P-T3 and pGL2.P-T5, were constructed with luciferase reporter vector, pGL2 promoter. T3 and T5 were wild-type and variant alleles,...
