The molecular genetics of Type 2 diabetes

1995-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Type 2 diabetes has a substantial genetic component. The aim of this dissertation was to investigate the molecular basis of Type 2 diabetes with particular emphasis on the role of the glucokinase gene. Other work studied specific mutations in the tRNALeu(UUR) gene of mitochondrial DNA and in the glucagon receptor gene. The Introductory chapter presents an overview of Type 2 diabetes, and the influence of the envir...
