Syndromes Associated with Cellular Defects in Insulin Receptor

Clinical Syndromes Associated with Cellular Defects in Insulin Receptor 

A number of disorders are associated with the development of insulin resistance. Although some cases are due to autoimmune responses such as the development of anti-insulin or anti-insulin receptor antibodies, insulin resistance often results from defects at the cellular level in the insulin receptor or in postreceptor function.
