Abstract excerpt
The KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes encode the components of the pancreatic ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel, which regulates insulin secretion by beta-cells and hence could be involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The KCNJ11 E23K and ABCC8 exon 31 variants have been studied in 127...
