Does a genetic variant in the gene encoding adrenomedullin predict the development of dysglycemia over 6.4 years in Chinese?
Our study suggests a potential role of genetic variants in the ADM gene in the development of dysglycemia in our local Chinese population.
The observed correlation implies a relationship between regulatory innovations and the origin of repetitive families. Consistent with our previous hypothesis, it is proposed that regulatory innovations fueled the origin of new subpopulations in which new repetitive families became fixed by genetic drift.
