Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A missense mutation in exon B of the adipocyte-specific isoform peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2 (PPARgamma2) has recently been described, leading to the substitution of proline to alanine at codon 12, which causes a reduction in the transcriptional activity of PPARgamma2. The Pro12Ala PPARgamma2 polymorphism has been variably associated with obesity, insulin sensitivity, and...
