Patterns of association between PPARgamma genetic variation and indices of adiposity and insulin action in African-Americans and whites: the CARDIA Study.

Abstract excerpt

We performed a combination of single-variant- and haplotype-based analyses to investigate the association of peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) gene sequence variation with indices of adiposity, including body mass index (BMI) and waist girth, as well as insulin action, including fasting blood glucose and insulin levels. Nine polymorphisms, selected based on race-specific pairwise...
