In order to determine the possible contribution of the GLUT1 (HepG2) glucose transporter gene to the inheritance of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), two restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and the related haplotypes at this locus were studied in 48 Italian diabetic pati

The insulin receptor has been proposed as a candidate gene for the inherited defect in Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and we therefore studied three restriction fragment length polymorphic sites, two revealed with the enzyme Sst1 and one by Rsa1, using two insulin receptor cDNA pro
Patients with Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and a strong family history of the disease may represent a sub-group where genetic factors play a preeminent role in transmission of the disease. A defect in the liver/islet cell glucose transporter (GluT 2) could explain many of the pat
Despite the strong evidence for a major role played by genetic factors in the aetiology of non-insulindependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), the genes involved are still unknown. Association studies of candidate genes for the inheritance of NIDDM have so far yielded inconclusive results. Some evidence
The liver/islet glucose transporter (GLUT2) is expressed in the liver and in the Beta cells of pancreatic islets and is a candidate gene for the inherited defect in Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. A series of restriction fragment length polymorphisms have been identified using a GL
