Abstract excerpt

To elucidate the potential impact of the variants of the UCP2 gene on obesity phenotypes, we have genotyped four polymorphisms in UCP2 among 988 Korean subjects using TaqMan methods, and three common haplotypes with frequency greater than 0.1 were constructed in the Korean population. No significant associations were detected with the risk of metabolic syndrome by logistic regression analyses. However, the 45...
