Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The objectives were to identify quantitative trait loci linked to serum adiponectin concentration and to estimate heritability in two populations of African descent. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: We conducted a genome scan for serum adiponectin concentration in two populations of African descent. Genome-wide microsatelitte markers were typed in an African-American population consisting of 203...
