Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Genetic variation in OCT1 can influence the glycemic response to metformin. We evaluated the effects of the OCT1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs1867351, rs4709400, rs628031, and rs2297374, on metformin efficacy in type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. METHODS: We performed a single-center prospective analysis of the distributions of these SNPs in a cohort of Han Chinese subjects in...
