Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of ghrelin gene polymorphisms with metabolic syndrome in Han Nationality Chinese. METHODS: A total of 240 patients with metabolic syndrome and 427 adults aged above forty years were recruited. Genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. RESULTS: The allelic frequency of the Leu72Met polymorphism was 17.3%...
