BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The INSR gene, which encodes the insulin receptor, is a candidate gene for type 2 diabetes (T2D). The objective of the present study was to sequence some of the crucial exons in the INSR gene such as exon 2, which encodes the insulin-binding domain of the INSR protein, and exons 17-21, which encode the protein tyrosine kinase domain for mutations/polymorphisms, and to study their...
