[ In a Taiwanese population, homozygosity of Arg16 in the ADRB2 gene was associated with a higher frequency (odds ratio 1.87, 95% confidence interval 1.34-2.40) for development of type 2 diabetes. Moreover, this polymorphism was also associated with an earlier onset of type 2 diabetes. However, the Glu27Gln polymorphism had no impact on either BMI or type 2 diabetes in a Taiwanese population.]. Sentence from MEDLINE/PubMed, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
