Associations between USF1 gene variants and cardiovascular risk factors in the Quebec Family Study.

Clinical genetics - 1 Mar 2007

Abstract excerpt

Cardiovascular (CVD) risk factors are under the influence of environmental and genetic factors. Human upstream transcription factor 1 gene (USF1) encodes for a transcription factor, which modulates the expression of genes involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolic pathways. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that USF1 gene variants are associated with CVD risk factors in the Quebec Family Study...
