Candidate genes for insulin resistance
DE Moller, C Bjorbaek and A Vidal-Puig
Department of Medicine, Beth Israel Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Insulin resistance confers increased susceptibility to NIDDM,
atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, ovarian hyperandrogenism, and
possibly hypertension. Insulin resistance is largely inherited, in rare
cases as a monogenic disorder or more commonly as a complex trait. The
search for insulin resistance genes relies mainly on two complementary
approaches: 1) positional cloning using random DNA markers present
throughout the genome; and 2) the analysis of specific candidate genes.
This report briefly summarizes the candidate gene approach to insulin
resistance. Progress related to the analysis of genes encoding molecules
that participate in insulin action is reviewed. In addition, the spectrum
of potential genetic defects that might contribute to insulin resistance,
both at the level of the target cell and secondarily (e.g., obesity genes),
is discussed.
