โฆ Synopsis
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone derived from the preproglucagon molecule that is secreted by intestinal L cells and stimulates insulin secretion from beta cells. The GLP-1 receptor is a candidate gene for diabetes mellitus, as mutations may induce the impaired insulin response that is a characteristic feature of NIDDM. To study the relationship between the GLP-1 receptor gene and NIDDM, linkage of a microsatellite polymorphism flanking the GLP-1 receptor gene with diabetes was investigated in three Caucasian families with MODY and in the nuclear families of 12 NIDDM probands. A cumulative LOD score -8.50 excludes linkage in these MODY pedigrees. A LOD score of -1.24 in the NIDDM nuclear pedigrees makes linkage improbable. Mutations in or near the GLP-1 receptor gene are unlikely to be the major cause of the inherited predisposition to NIDDM in Caucasian pedigrees, but we cannot exclude a role for this locus in a polygenic model or a major role in some pedigrees.

The possibility of linkage between the human insulin receptor gene locus and diabetes was examined in three Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic families and one family with maturity onset diabetes of the young.

Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a form of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus characterised by an early age of onset and an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Only a proportion of cases are due to mutations in the glucokinase gene. We have studied five Caucasian MODY families
The association between DNA insertion sequences located near the insulin gene and the dominantly inherited maturity-onset diabetes of young people was studied in a large family. The distribution of the restriction fragments was compatible with Mendelian segregation. However, no linkage was found bet
Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a genetically heterogeneous form of type 2 diabetes that is characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance, onset in early adulthood and a primary defect in insulin secretion. Mutations in at least six genes have been shown to underlie MODY, including
