摘要:
Methods of diagnosing susceptibility to metabolic insulin resistance and other related conditions are disclosed. The method provides means of diagnosing susceptibility to insulin resistance in Hispanic Americans by determining the presence of a risk haplotype at the LPL locus, the LPIN1 locus, and/or elevated levels of gamma-glutamyl transferase.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for determining haplotypes useful for large-scale genetic analysis, within a genomic reference sequence of interest, for a human subpopulation. The method can applied to statistically evaluating the genotypes of subjects for any statistically significant association with a phenotype of interest, such as insulin resistance or coronary artery disease. Thus, also disclosed are a method of detecting a genetic predisposition in a human subject for certain biological conditions, which may be related to coronary artery disease.
