Abstract excerpt
Lipoatrophic diabetes (LD) is a syndrome with congenital or delayed onset, characterized by severe insulin resistance and generalized lipoatrophy. Using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and sequencing, we have investigated the contribution of defects in the insulin receptor (IR) gene in LD. First, we performed an association study between the IR gene and congenital lipoatrophy in two families with...
