Genetic Variability in eIF2α Gene Is Associated with Islet β-Cell Function in the Development of Diabetes in a Chinese Han Population

Aims. Protein kinase-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK)/eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α) pathway mutations lead to failure of β-cell function. The aim of this article was to assess the association between eIF2α and the risk of glucose metabolism abnormalities. Methods....
