Abstract excerpt
It has been reported recently that A2 allele of muscle glycogen synthase gene determined by Xba I RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) is related to the frequency of NIDDM in Finland. Using PCR-RFLP analysis, we detected no A2 allele in Japanese patients with NIDDM and control. We found a new microsatellite of CA repeat in the human muscle glycogen synthase gene, and the polymorphism of the repeat...
