Abstract excerpt
In order to explore the different genetic backgrounds of non-obese and obese type 2 diabetes, we tried to genotype six SNPs (-11391G/A, -11377C/G, -10068G/A, G54V, Y111H and 4545G/C) in the adipose most abundant gene transcript-1 (APM1) gene in 338 type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients and 460 non-diabetic subjects by PCR-RFLP. Among these mutations, the 4545G/C mutation (rs1063539) contributed to the genetic risk of...
