HUMAN TYPE II DIABETES GENE-Kv CHANNEL-INTERACTING PROTEIN (KChIP1) LOCATED ON CHROMOSOME 5

摘要

Association of Type II diabetes and a locus on chromosome 5 is disclosed. In particular, the gene KCh1P 1 within this locus is shown by linkage analysis to be a susceptibility gene for Type Il diabetes. Pathway targeting for drug delivery and diagnosis applications in identifying those who have Type lI diabetes or are at risk of developing Type Il diabetes, in particular those that are non-obese are described.
