Abstract excerpt
INSR gene mutations have been described in multiple individuals with extreme insulin resistance, but the INSR gene has not been implicated in familial NIDDM. We previously have screened members of 18 familial NIDDM pedigrees for mutations in exons encoding the tyrosine kinase domain of the INSR gene (exons 13-21) by SSCP. That analysis initially detected only patterns consistent with silent polymorphisms, but on...
