Abstract excerpt

The ileal fatty acid binding protein (FABP6) is known to be involved in enterohepatic bile acid metabolism. We have previously found a significant association between the rare allele of the FABP6 Thr79Met polymorphism and lower type 2 diabetes risk in a small case-control study (192 cases and 384 controls) embedded in the large EPIC-Potsdam cohort. A priori functional implication of the amino acid change was...
