Abstract excerpt
A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) G276T in the adiponectin gene has been associated with lower plasma adiponectin levels and insulin resistance, which are related to the prevalence of type 2 diabetes or diabetic complications of macroangiopathy. We performed a case-control study to examine whether the SNP276 of the adiponectin gene was also related to early diabetic nephropathy. SNP276 was examined with...
