Association of Resistin Gene 3′-Untranslated Region +62G→A Polymorphism with Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension in a Chinese Population
1 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
Resistin, a recently discovered polypeptide, antagonizes insulin action and may play a part in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. This study investigates whether resistin gene polymorphism can be associated with type 2 diabetes. We studied 1102 Chinese type 2 diabetes patients and 743 subjects without diabetes. The resistin 3'-untranslated region (UTR) +62G-->A polymorphism was determined by PCR. Type 2...
