Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Disordered cellular calcium regulation has been implicated in the pathophysiology of diabetes through mechanisms that remain unresolved. The non-selective calcium channel, transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 2 (TRPM2), has been recently reported to play a role in insulin secretion by pancreatic beta-cells. We hypothesized that gene variation of TRPM2 may play a role in the...
