Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. Type 2 diabetes is a consequence of complex interactions among multiple genetic variants and environmental risk factors. Polymorphisms in various candidate genes confer susceptibility to diabetes. This study was undertaken to analyse a single nucleotide polymorphism Trp64Arg (C↔T) in the ADRB3 gene and elucidate its effects on...
