Abstract excerpt
1. A missense mutation (Trp64Arg) in the beta 3-adrenoceptor (beta 3-AR) gene has been associated with weight gain, insulin resistance and earlier-onset non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), but the strength of these associations varies considerably between populations and the functional significance of Trp64Arg remains unclear. 2. The Trp64Arg mutation was investigated in obese NIDDM (n = 50) and...
