Abstract excerpt
The single nucleotide polymorphism at position 276 in the adiponectin gene (APM1/ACDC +276 G>T) and left ventricular mass (LVM) have been associated with increased cardiovascular risk. We sought to evaluate whether +276 G>T variants in the adiponectin gene are correlated with LVM in uncomplicated obese subjects. APM1/ACDC +276 G>T single nucleotide polymorphism, echocardiographic indexed LVM (LVM/body surface...
