Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Genetic variation in leptin receptor (LEPR) gene has been reported to associate with insulin and glucose metabolism and adiposity in different study settings and various populations. We wanted to evaluate the association between LEPR polymorphisms, diabetes risk and body weight in Finnish subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). METHODS: We investigated the associations of the three LEPR...
