ABSTRACT:
A method of diagnosis of a disease, Syndrome X in one embodiment, in an individual comprises determining the genotype of a microsatellite region of a glucocorticoid receptor gene in said individual. A method of identifying an individual predisposed or susceptible to the disease comprises determining the genotype of a microsatellite region of a glucocorticoid receptor gene in said individual. Methods of treatment and therapy for diseased or predisposed or susceptible individuals are provided, together with apparatus for carrying out the diagnosis.
