Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To assess the relevance of a Gly-->Arg substitution in codon 972 of the insulin receptor substrate-1 gene in impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and NIDDM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The genotype of 1,106 Japanese subjects consisting of 310 subjects with NIDDM, 305 subjects with IGT, and 491 normal control subjects was analyzed by an allele-specific assay using polymerase chain reaction and restriction...
