Abstract excerpt
Fifty-two patients and 36 controls were compared in a search for insulin gene variants among type II diabetic patients with fasting hyperinsulinemia (above 90 microU/ml) and a fasting C-peptide to insulin molar ratio between 1.11 and 1.50. Alpha and beta alleles of the insulin gene were characterized by restriction analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products and direct sequencing. The more frequent...
