14 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations of the preproinsulin gene (INS) account for both permanent neonatal diabetes (PND) and adult-onset diabetes. The molecular mechanism of complete INS deletion has recently been published and we now add clinical data of homozygous and heterozygous subjects as well as the detailed mapping of the 646 bp deletion of the INS gene. METHODS: Location and size of the INS deletion was mapped in one...
