The KCNJ11 E23K and ABCC8 exon 31 variants contribute to susceptibility to T2D diabetes, glucose intolerance and altered insulin secretion in a Russian population.
We conclude that the polymorphisms of the SUR1 gene predicted the conversion from impaired glucose tolerance to type 2 diabetes and that the effect of these polymorphisms on diabetes risk was additive with the E23K polymorphism of the Kir6.2 gene.
