Abstract excerpt
In a subset of patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus an 8-base pair (bp) repeat was found from -322 to -315 in the 5'-flanking region of the insulin gene. This 8-bp repeat is inserted into a sequence that is highly homologous to a sequence motif, called PISCES (pancreatic islet cell-specific enhancer sequences), found within cell-specific enhancer elements of the rat insulin I (Ins-E1, from -332...
