Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Morbid obesity (BMI>40 kg/m(2)) affecting 0.5-5% of the adult population worldwide is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes. We aimed to elucidate the genetic bases of diabetes associated with obesity (diabesity), and to analyse the impact of corpulence on the effects of diabetes susceptibility genes. METHODS: We genotyped known single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the adiponectin-encoding...
