Abstract excerpt
We recently identified a mutation in the human beta 3-adrenergic receptor (beta 3AR) gene (codon 64 TGGTrp -> CGGArg; TRP64ARG) that associates with features of the insulin resistance syndrome and an earlier onset of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). We scanned the beta 3AR gene for mutations by single stranded conformational polymorphism analysis in 20 Nauruans with obesity and NIDDM. No mutations...
