Abstract excerpt
As a candidate gene for type 2 diabetes (T2D), insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS‑1) gene variations were found to be associated with the risk of T2D. The aim of our study was to investigate the contribution of promoter DNA methylation of the IRS‑1 gene to the risk of T2D. Using bisulphite pyrosequencing technology, the DNA methylation levels of 3 CpG dinucleotides within the IRS‑1 gene promoter were measured in...
