Abstract excerpt

As there is a high prevalence of obesity in Tonga, we aimed to determine the distribution of the beta2 adrenoceptor gene Gln(27)Glu polymorphism and to assess its relevance to obesity and to Type II diabetes, known to be prevalent in that population. A random sample of 1022 individuals from Tonga were genotyped for the Gln(27)Glu polymorphism in the beta 2 adrenoceptor gene. To assess the prevalence of obesity we...
