Rare fully penetrant mutations in <i>AKT2</i> are an established cause of monogenic disorders of glucose metabolism. Recently, a novel partial loss-of-function <i>AKT2</i> coding variant (p.Pro50Thr) was identified that is nearly specific to Finns (frequency 1.1%), with the low-frequency allele associated with an increase in fasting plasma insulin level and risk of type 2 diabetes. The effects of the p.Pro50Thr <i>AKT2</i> variant (p.P50T/<i>AKT2</i>) on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (GU) in ...[more]
