Abstract excerpt
There is strong evidence that non-insulin-dependent-diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) has a polygenic mode of inheritance. Nevertheless, major gene effects may be involved in its pathogenesis, especially in forms with an early age of onset. We performed linkage analyses between 4 candidate genes for insu...
