AIMS: Polymorphisms of KCNQ1 were previously associated with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in select Caucasian and non-Caucasian populations. We investigated the association of rs231361, rs231359, rs151290, rs2237892, rs2283228, rs2237895, and KCNQ1 polymorphisms with T2DM in Tunisian Arabs. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Subjects comprised 900 T2DM patients and 600 normoglycemic controls. KCNQ1 genotyping was done by...
