Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) affects about 5% of the world population. The disease presents a polygenic mode of inheritance, but mechanisms and genes involved in late-onset NIDDM are largely unknown. We report the association of a single heterozygous Gly to Ser missense mutation in the glucagon receptor gene with late-onset NIDDM. This mutation was highly associated with NIDDM in a pooled set of French and Sardinian patients (chi 2 = 14.4, P = 0.0001) and showed some evidence for linkage to diabetes in 18 sibships from 9 French pedigrees (chi 2 = 6.63, P < 0.01). Receptor binding studies using cultured cells expressing the Gly40Ser mutation demonstrate that this mutation results in a receptor which binds glucagon with a three-fold lower affinity compared to the wild type receptor.

D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.

D005934 Glucagon A 29-amino acid pancreatic peptide derived from proglucagon which is also the precursor of intestinal GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDES. Glucagon is secreted by PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS and plays an important role in regulation of BLOOD GLUCOSE concentration, ketone metabolism, and several other biochemical and physiological processes.
