Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma 2 (PPAR-gamma 2) gene may cause obesity and insulin resistance. Therefore we investigated whether known variants in the PPAR-gamma 2 gene are associated with obesity and extreme insulin resistance in obese patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). The Pro115 Gln, Pro12Ala, Pro467Leu, Val290Met and a silent polymorphism C478 T were examined in...
