| Abstract | Although resistance to insulin action is a well-studied phenomenon in non-insulin-dependent diabetes and certain genetic syndromes, the role of inherited defects of the insulin receptor in these disorders is unknown. To facilitate the evaluation of that role, restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were identified using various portions of the insulin receptor cDNA to examine digested DNA from American Blacks, Pima Indians, and Caucasians. Five RFLPs were identified in Caucasians. Two of these were detected with a single 1.3-kilobase probe in Rsa I digests with minor allele frequencies of 0.48 and 0.23. An additional RFLP was noted with Bgl II and two more RFLPs with Sac I using a different 1.6-kilobase probe, with minor allele frequencies of 0.17 for Bgl II and 0.12 for both Sac I RFLPs. All RFLPs except for the second Sac I RFLP were present in American Blacks, while only the Rsa I RFLPs were present in Pima Indians. Pairwise analysis showed random association between all sites except for the Bgl II and second Rsa I sites, where the disequilibrium statistic, delta, was -0.70 (different from 0 at P less than 0.001). No association of any RFLP was noted with non-insulin-dependent diabetes in a small population. These studies show that this is a highly informative locus that should be important for mapping of chromosome 19p and for linkage studies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
