Interaction between the UCP2-866G/A, mtDNA 10398G/A and PGC1alpha p.Thr394Thr and p.Gly482Ser polymorphisms in type 2 diabetes susceptibility in North Indian population.

Abstract excerpt

In the recent past, we have observed a possible role of 10398A and 16189C mtDNA and PGC1alpha p.Thr394Thr (rs2970847) and p.Gly482Ser (rs8192673) variant genotypes providing susceptibility/protection against type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in two North Indian population groups. These initial observations encouraged us to look at the candidate genes in combination with -866G/A (rs659366) polymorphism in uncoupling...
