Brief Summary: The study will allow researchers to obtain blood plasma DNA and RNA for genetic studies of insulin There will be a focus on the causes of insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus Insulin is a hormone found in the body that controls the level of sugar in the blood Insulin resistance refers to conditions like diabetes when insulin does not work properly In this study researchers would like to compare patients with diabetes and other forms of insulin resistance to normal individuals The study will investigate how insulin attaches to cells

Researchers will take 4 to 6 ounces 100-150 ml of blood from adult patients and may request up to 12 ounces one unit of blood if necessary Skin samples may be taken for a biopsy if further genetic testing is necessary In addition some patients may be asked not to eat for up to 72 hours prior to testing
Detailed Description: Study Description

Insulin is the key hormone responsible for regulating the level of glucose in plasma In several disease states eg obesity type 2 diabetes and acromegaly the target cells are resistant to insulin action Insulin resistance leads to metabolic complications including diabetes dyslipidemia cardiovascular disease non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and reproductive dysfunction The intramural research program of the NIDDK has a long history of studying patients with rare disorders of extreme insulin resistance We use what is learned from these rare patients both to develop therapeutics for rare diseases and to apply what is learned to understand more common forms of insulin resistance

Objectives

Primary Objectives 1 To understand the pathophysiology of insulin resistance and its relationship to cardiovascular disease 2 To study the molecular genetics underlying various causes of insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus and 3 To understand the natural history of insulin resistance disorders including their response to FDA approved therapies

Endpoints

Primary Endpoint Genetic causes of insulin resistance

Secondary Endpoints Diabetes control hemoglobin A1c and complications rates of micro- and macrovascular disease
