Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It has been proposed that the energy-sensing enzyme AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key agent in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The gene encoding protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 (PRKAA2) is located at one of the Asian T2DM loci (1p32). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to test for the association of common variants in PRKAA2 with T2DM...
