Abstract excerpt
We investigated the possible association between alleles of a simple tandem repeat DNA polymorphism in the human glycogen synthase gene and non-obese non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM) in Japanese subjects. Nine alleles (-4G, -3G, -2G, -1G, 0G, 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G) were identified in the study...
