Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: On the basis of its chromosomal localization and its role in the synthesis of the antilipolytic compound prostaglandin E(2), the prostaglandin E synthase 2 (PTGES2) is a candidate gene for type 2 diabetes. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to investigate whether genetic variants in the PTGES2 gene are associated with type 2 diabetes. RESULTS: Sequencing of the PTGES2 gene revealed one...
