Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Genetic variations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway may be associated with an increasing risk of obesity and diabetes. In this study, we aimed to test whether polymorphisms in the PIK3CA (catalytic subunit of PI3K), AKT1, AKT2, and FRAP1 (mTOR) genes were associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among Chinese population. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted and included 248...
