Susceptibility
  • to typical migraine (MAWMA)
  • to colorectal cancer (CRC)
  • to type 2 diabetes (T2DM)
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • INSR A-603G promoter SNP, which is located within a known Sp1-binding site, was associated with the risk of CRC, with carriers of the G allele having a decreased risk
  • variant genotypes rs1366600CC and TC/CC in the insulin receptor (INSR) gene were associated with T2DM
  • Candidate gene
