INS VNTR allelic variation and dynamic insulin secretion in healthy adult non-diabetic Caucasian subjects.
AIMS: To elucidate the relationship between the human insulin gene INS VNTR regulatory polymorphism and insulin secretion. The polymorphism arises from tandem repetition of 14-15 bp oligonucleotides. In Caucasians, repeat number varies from 26 to over 200, with two main and discrete allele size clas...
