Common variations in the ALMS1 gene do not contribute to susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in a large white UK population.
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Alström syndrome is a rare monogenic disorder characterised by retinal dystrophy, deafness and obesity. Patients also have insulin resistance, central obesity and dyslipidaemia, thus showing similarities with type 2 diabetes. Rare mutations in the ALMS1 gene cause severe gene disrup...
