Mutant insulin receptors in syndromes of insulin resistance.

Abstract excerpt

To date, mutations of the insulin receptor remain the only well-established causes of severe insulin resistance. There is a broad correlation between the extent of impairment of signal transduction seen when the mutant receptors are expressed in vitro with the severity of the clinical phenotype. Thus leprechaunism, Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome and Type A insulin resistance appear to represent points on a continuum...
