Does not support SUR1-focused NIDDM screening in Japanese patients; leaves open other genetic contributors for investigation.
Case-Control (n=167)
SUR1 mutations that impair K(ATP) channel function are not a major determinant of NIDDM susceptibility in the Japanese population.
Ohta et al. (1998) conducted a case-control in NIDDM (n=167). SUR1 gene mutations vs. Nondiabetic control subjects was evaluated on Functional alteration of K(ATP) channel activities and NIDDM susceptibility. SUR1 gene mutations impairing K(ATP) channel function do not appear to be major determinants of NIDDM susceptibility in Japanese patients.
