[A prospective study of the relationship between Trp64Arg beta(3)-adrenergic receptor gene polymorphism and metabolic syndrome].

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between Trp64Arg mutation in beta(3)-adrenergic receptor (beta(3)-AR) gene and the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS). METHODS: A seven-year follow-up study was conducted in 386 simple obese subjects and 175 normal weight subjects in whom geno-typing of Trp64Arg mutation in beta(3)-AR gene was examined in 2000. RESULTS: There were no differences between a Trp64Trp...
