Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation of fatty acid binding protein 2 (FABP2) may contribute to the high prevalence of obesity and Type II diabetes in Tonga. To explore this we assessed the frequency of the FABP2 Ala54Thr polymorphism, obesity, and Type II diabetes in Tongans and possible inter-relationships. We investigated 1022 Tongan subjects, 433 men and 589 women aged 15-85 years, to identify possible associations between the...
