Association of common genetic variants in the MAP4K4 locus with prediabetic traits in humans.

Association of common genetic variants in the MAP4K4 locus with prediabetic traits in humans.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 4 (MAP4K4) is expressed in all diabetes-relevant tissues and mediates cytokine-induced insulin resistance. We investigated whether common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MAP4K4 locus associate with glucose intolerance, insulin resis...
