Insulin Gene VNTR Polymorphisms −2221mspi and −23hphi Are Associated with Type 1 Diabetes and Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults: a Meta-Analysis

A variable number of tandem repeat (VNTRs) region in the insulin gene (INS) possibly influences the progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). However, effects of INS VNTR polymorphisms in these contexts remain inconclusive.
