A 45-bp insertion/deletion polymorphism of uncoupling protein 2 in relation to obesity in Tongans.

Obesity research - 1 Apr 2003

Abstract excerpt

We compared the current prevalence of increased BMI and type 2 diabetes in a representative group of Tongan subjects with measurements made in 1973, and we determined the distribution and possible interrelations with the UCP2 insertion/deletion (ins/del) polymorphism of these variables. We documented the BMI, glucose tolerance, and standard lipid variables in 1012 Tongan subjects (429 men and 583 women, ages 15...
