Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Insulin secretion and insulin resistance, which affect metabolic homoeostasis, each have a significant genetic component. Cyclin- dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) regulatory subunit-associated protein 1-like 1 (CDKAL1) rs10946398, a novel body mass index (BMI)-associated locus specifically in the Asian population, may impair insulin secretion and may be associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes....
