Abstract excerpt
Insulin resistance is frequently associated with acanthosis nigricans and hyperandrogenism. In patients with type A insulin resistance, this has been shown to be due to genetic defects in insulin receptor function. However, other patients with a similar clinical syndrome have been reported to have a variant of this syndrome, in which assays of insulin receptor function were normal. We have sequenced a portion of...
