Abstract excerpt

Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) is a polypeptide that plays a key role in mammalian growth, influencing fetal cell division, differentiation, and possibly metabolic regulation. In adult humans, polymorphisms of the IGF2 gene have been associated with predisposition to obesity. In the present study, we tested the association between IGF2/ApaI genotype and Body Mass Index (BMI) in 294 healthy volunteers (95...
