Abstract excerpt
The contribution of a 3' glucokinase gene polymorphism to the aetiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus was studied in 17 diabetic pedigrees from North-Western Italy; linkage methodology was used. A CA repeat sequence was employed as a marker and amplified by PCR. Three alleles were found: Z (195 bp)...
