Abstract excerpt
AIM: The human protein encoded by the FOXO1A gene functions as a transcription factor of insulin signaling key genes. In this study we investigated the role of genetic variation in the FOXO1A gene in susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D) and relevant metabolic traits. METHODS: We genotyped six haplotype tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for association analyses in German Caucasians (593 patients...
