Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The 12q24 locus entails at least one gene responsible for hypercholesterolemia. Within the 12q24 locus lies the gene of proteasome modulator 9 (PSMD9). PSMD9 is in linkage with type 2 diabetes (T2D), T2D-nephropathy and macrovascular pathology in Italian families and PSMD9 rare mutations contribute to T2D. AIMS: In the present study, we aimed at determining whether the PSMD9 T2D risk single nucleotide...
