Abstract excerpt
Polymorphism in the 5'-flanking region of the human insulin gene in 149 unrelated Japanese subjects [77 with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), 17 with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), and 55 controls] was analyzed with Southern blot hybridization. We used the size of the hybridized fragments to classify the locus into three groups according to Bell's method (a short, class 1 allele...
