Susceptibility
  • to type 2 diabetes mellitus in Pima indians
  • to development of prostate cancer
  • to aspirin resistance
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP , insertion/deletion
  • allele C associated with decreased promoter activity and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus
  • SNP -297G was associated with a decreased risk for prostate cancer
  • partial deletion of exon 5 associated with aspirin resistance
  • Candidate gene for treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
