Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between MKKS gene variations, obesity-related traits and features of the metabolic syndrome (MS) in the Greek population. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: Genotype and haplotype analysis was carried out for six known MKKS gene polymorphisms (534C>T, 985+16T>G, 985+33C>G, 986-29A>T, 1161+58A>G and 1595G>T) in 220 obese subjects (body mass index > or =30 kg/m(2)) and 330 non-obese...
