SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM ASSOCIATED WITH RISK OF INSULIN RESISTANCE DEVELOPMENT

摘要

The present invention is directed to methods of identifying quantitative trait loci (QTL) markers associated with insulin resistance, and use of these markers to explain individual physiological responses to dietary glycemic load. In addition, expressional QTLs (eQTLs) have been identified to characterize the contribution of the genotype to variations in gene expression.
