Genetic variants affecting incretin sensitivity and incretin secretion
Recent genome-wide association studies identified several novel risk genes for type 2 diabetes. The majority of these type 2 diabetes risk variants confer impaired pancreatic beta cell function. Though the mol...

The ENPP1 K121Q polymorphism determines individual susceptibility to the insulin-sensitising effect of lifestyle intervention
The K121Q (rs1044498) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the ENPP1 gene has shown association with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes in various ethnic populations. We hypothesised that K121Q may predict...

A common genetic variant in WFS1 determines impaired glucagon-like peptide-1-induced insulin secretion
WFS1 type 2 diabetes risk variants appear to be associated with impaired beta cell function, although it is unclear whether insulin secretion is affected directly or secondarily via alteration ...

Symptomatic hypoglycemia during imatinib mesylate in a non-diabetic female patient with gastrointestinal stromal tumor
Imatinib mesylate is a selective competitive inhibitor of the bcr-abl tyrosine kinase and c-KIT. Other kinases, such as phosphatidylinositol 3′-kinase (PI-3K) involved in insulin signaling, have also been show...

Adrenocortical carcinoma producing 11-deoxycorticosterone: A rare cause of mineralocorticoid hypertension
A 37-yr-old man presented with the classic signs of mineralocorticoid excess hypertension and hypokalemia. The cause was not aldosterone excess, but elevation of plasma 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC). Computed t...
