Abstract excerpt
A heterozygous polymorphism changing GGT40 (Gly) to AGT40 (Ser) (Gly40Ser) in the glucagon receptor gene was reported to be associated with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). A possible involvement of this polymorphism in impaired glucose tolerance was also suggested in a French pop...
