Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: High variability in clinical response to metformin is often observed in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, and it highlights the need for identification of genetic components affecting the efficiency of metformin therapy. Aim of this observational study is to evaluate the role of tagSNPs (tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms) from genomic regions coding for six metformin transporter genes with respect...
