Genome-wide scan for CAG/CTG repeat expansions in Pimas with early onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Molecular genetics and metabolism - 1 Jan 1999

Wolford J K, Bogardus C, Prochazka M

Abstract excerpt

The expansion of polymorphic CAG/CTG repeats in specific genes causes several neurodegenerative disorders and in many instances the length of the disease-causing repeat correlates with the onset age and/or severity of symptoms. Type 2 diabetes mellitus has features in common with diseases resulti...
