Tests
This test measures the levels of DHEA sulfate (DHEAS) in your blood. DHEAS stands for dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate. DHEAS is mostly made in the adrenal glands, two small glands located above your kidneys. Your adrenal glands help control your heart rate, blood pressure, and other body functions. They make different types of hormones you need to stay healthy. This includes cortisol, a hormone that helps with your immune system , and DHEAS, a steroid hormone.

Tests
Diabetes , also known as diabetes mellitus, is a disease that affects how your body uses glucose ( blood sugar ). Glucose is your body's main source of energy. A hormone (a chemical messenger in your bloodstream that controls the actions of certain cells or organs) called insulin helps move glucose from your bloodstream into your cells.

Glossary Term
The probability that a test will produce a true negative result when used on non-effected subjects as compared to a reference or "gold standard". The specificity of a test can be determined by calculating: number of true negative results divided by the sum of true negative results plus number of false positive results.

Indicators
This gene is involved in the RNA interference pathway.
Glossary Term
A DNA sequencing technique in which a mixture of deoxynucleosidetriphosphates (dNTPs) and chain-terminating dNTPs, which are radioactively or fluorescently labeled, are combined within the reaction mixture. Once the reaction is complete, the DNA strands are separated by size, and the labeled chain terminating dNTPs can be read in sequence by the investigator or by a machine.
