Abstract excerpt
Using the molecular scanning technique of single-stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP), we have examined the exons encoding the insulin receptor gene in 26 patients with syndromes of insulin resistance. We found 27 variant sequences, 4 of which were mutations that altered an amino acid. One patient with the Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome was homozygous for a mutation in the extracellular alpha-subunit (Ser to...
