Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of a common -2548G/A (rs7799039) promoter variant of the human leptin gene (LEP) with obesity or body mass index (BMI) and its associated phenotypes such as blood pressure variability and the prevalence of hypertension in a sample of the Tunisian population. DESIGN AND METHODS: Two hundred and twenty-nine obese patients were screened and compared with 251 normal weight...
