Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The suppressor of cytokine signalling 3 (SOCS3) provides a link between cytokine action and their negative consequences on insulin signalling. Thus SOCS3 is a potential candidate gene for type 2 diabetes (T2DM). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Based on HapMap we identified the polymorphism A+930-->G (rs4969168) as a haplotype tagging SNP (htSNP) sufficiently covering the genetic variation of the whole...
