Abstract excerpt
Recently, the genetic variability at adiponectin locus (APM1) was associated with cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes. We sought to examine the associations of five variants of APM1 gene (C-11365G, A-4034C, A-3964G, T45G, and G276T) with the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in a larger cohort of diabetic patients. Of 879 diabetic men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, 239...
