Clinical features of a polymorphism of the <i>β</i> ₃-adrenergic receptor gene in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus - A study using a pin-point sequencing method

Abstract

The present results suggest that the clinical features of diabetic patients with a missense mutation in the beta(3)AR gene are substantially distinct from those of the wild type patients. These specific features include obesity, hyperinsulinemia, hypertension, and an increase in preperitoneal fat.
