Positive associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms in the IGF2 gene region and body mass index in adult males.

Human molecular genetics - 1 Jul 2001

Abstract excerpt

We previously demonstrated an association between the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) ApaI polymorphism and body mass index (BMI) in over 2500 middle-aged Caucasoid males. In the same cohort, we have now tested association with 11 more markers, including seven novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), spanning >30 kb across the IGF2 gene. Three SNPs showed significant...
