Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C X domain 3 (PLCXD3) has been shown to influence pancreatic β-cell function by disrupting insulin signaling. Herein, we investigated two genetic variants in the PLCXD3 gene in relation to type 2 diabetes (T2D) or metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the Emirati population. In total, 556 adult Emirati individuals (306 T2D and 256 controls) were genotyped for two PLCXD3 variants...
