Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study is to find out whether the -607 C/A polymorphism in IL-18 gene promoter will affect serum IL-18 concentrations and glucose metabolism in Chinese subjects. In 232 patients with impaired glucose regulation (IGR) or type 2 diabetes and 212 subjects of normal glucose regulation (NGR), -607 C/A polymorphism was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers. Serum IL-18...
