Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: In search of functional polymorphisms associated with the genetics of insulin resistance, we studied a variant in the promoter of PIK3CB, the gene coding for the catalytic p110beta subunit of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase, a major effector of insulin action. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The rs361072 C/T variant was selected among single nucleotide polymorphisms of the PIK3CB region because we...
