1 Genotyping of the IRS-1 Arg(972) variant was performed in type 2 diabetes patients treated with either sulphonylurea drugs, glinides or insulin or with metformin, acarbose or glitazones using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method.

2 CONCLUSIONS: Thus, we were able to replicate the earlier findings of an association between the IRS-1 Arg(972) variant and secondary failure to sulphonylurea drugs, and further observed a general association between HbA1c and this polymorphism in type 2 diabetes patients treated with insulinotropic hypoglycaemic drugs but not with metformin.
