Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The insulin responsive adiponutrin or patatin-like phospholipase 3 (PNPLA3, previously ADPN) gene shows association with obesity and in vitro adipocyte lipolysis. This study aimed to replicate the association between PNPLA3 variants and obesity, and to investigate their effect on insulin resistance and beta-cell function. METHODS: rs738409 (Met148Ile) and rs2072907 (C to G) were genotyped using TaqMan...
