    Phenotypic characteristics of early Wolfram syndrome

    Wolfram Syndrome (WFS:OMIM 222300) is an autosomal recessive, progressive, neurologic and endocrinologic degenerative disorder caused by mutations in the WFS1 gene, encoding the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) prot...

    Common variants in WFS1 confer risk of type 2 diabetes

    We studied genes involved in pancreatic β cell function and survival, identifying associations between SNPs in WFS1 and diabetes risk in UK populations that we replicated in an Ashkenazi population and in additio...

    A gene encoding a transmembrane protein is mutated in patients with diabetes mellitus and optic atrophy (Wolfram syndrome)

    Wolfram syndrome (WFS; OMIM 222300) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder defined by young-onset non-immune insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and progressive optic atrophy. Linkage to markers ...

    Map** of the human insulin receptor substrate-2 gene, identification of a linked polymorphic marker and linkage analysis in families with Type II diabetes: no evidence for a major susceptibility role

    Insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS-2) is a substrate of the insulin receptor and mediates the action of the insulin. Disruption of the IRS-2 gene in mice results in peripheral insulin resistance and relative i...

    Genetic studies of the leptin receptor gene in morbidly obese French Caucasian families

    Family studies have shown that in some populations up to 75% of the variation of body mass index can be explained by genetic factors. However, in humans, no major obesity gene has been identified to date. In ...

    Molecular Genetic Approach to Polygenic Disease: Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM)

    Diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism which is secondary to insulin deficiency. The insulin deficiency varies in degree, being complete in insulin dependent di...

    The Genetics of Type I and Type II Diabetes: Analysis by Recombinant DNA Methodology

    Susceptibility to IDDM is linked to the HLA-D locus on the short arm of chromosome 6, a region believed to be involved in the process of communication between cells which determines immune responses. Presumabl...
