Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Genetic polymorphisms of organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) have been recently described, but their genotype-phenotype relationship in humans is unknown. We performed this study to (i) characterize genetic variations of the OCT2 gene in the Chinese population and (ii) investigate the potential functional significance of OCT2 polymorphisms using metformin (an OCT2 substrate) alone or in the presence of...
