Abstract excerpt
To assess the genetic susceptibility to noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in Japanese subjects, we investigated the role of GLUT2 gene defects in patients with NIDDM. When the allelic frequency of a simple tandem repeat polymorphism in the GLUT2 gene was compared, the allele with 155 base pairs was more common in NIDDM patients (n = 99) than in controls (n = 89; 5.1% vs. 0.6%; P = 0.0118, by Fisher's...
