Association of the C825T polymorphism of the G-protein beta3 subunit gene with hypertension, obesity, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, diabetes, diabetic complications, and diabetic therapies among Japanese.

Abstract excerpt

A C825T polymorphism of the gene encoding the G-protein beta3 subunit (GNB3) is associated with increased intracellular signal transduction. We know that this C825T polymorphism may influence hypertension and obesity. In whites, the C825T polymorphism has been reported to induce hypertension, obesity, and diabetic nephropathy. Thus, we investigated how genetic variation in the GNB3 gene is associated with...
