Abstract excerpt
Impaired glycogen synthesis after insulin stimulation accounts for most of the insulin resistance in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). The glycogen synthase gene (GYS1), which encodes the rate-limiting enzyme for glycogen synthesis, is a promising candidate gene for NIDDM. Therefore, we screened all 16 exons of this gene by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis in 40...
