CA 2609229

The present invention relates to polymorphisms in the ATF6-alpha gene or locus which show genetic association with insulin resistance phenotypes, such as metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. The present invention further relates to methods of genetic diagnosis of insulin resistance phenotypes comprising testing polymorphisms in the ATF6-alpha gene or locus and to reagents suitable for use in such methods. Further the invention relates to screening methods for compounds modulating the expression and/or function of ATF6-alpha gene and/or protein, which are useful in treatment and/or prevention of insulin resistance phenotypes.

La présente invention concerne des polymorphisme dans le gène ou le site ATF6-alpha qui présentent une association génétique avec des phénotypes de résistance à l'insuline, tels que le syndrome métabolique et le diabète de type II. Cette invention concerne aussi des techniques de diagnostic génétique de phénotypes de résistance à l'insuline qui consiste à tester des polymorphismes dans le gène ou le site ATF6-alpha, et des réactifs qui conviennent pour ces techniques. Cette invention concerne aussi des techniques de recherche de composés modulant l'expression et/ou la fonction du gène et/ou de la protéine ATF6-alpha, qui conviennent pour le traitement et/ou la prévention de phénotypes de résistance à l'insuline
