Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The prevalence rates of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and coronary heart disease (CHD) in Ontario Oji-Cree are among the world's highest. Since metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases risk of T2DM and CHD, we characterized prevalence and putative genetic determinants of MetS in Oji-Cree. METHODS AND RESULTS: In 515 adult (> or = 18 years old) and 115 adolescent (< 18 years old) Oji-Cree subjects, using the...
