| Abstract: |
Growth arrest-specific protein 6 (Gas6) belongs to a family of vitamin K-dependent coagulation proteins. Plasma levels of Gas6 are associated to altered glucose tolerance. This study aimed at determining whether c.843+7G>A Gas6 polymorphism is associated with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study included 05 patients with type 2 diabetes and 40 matched controls. The Gas6 protein was measured in serum using ELISA and Gas6 gene polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction- Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism. The GG genotype was the most prevalent in the diabetic patient. The frequency of A allele in the diabetic group was lower than the control group (P |
