Prohormone convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) genetic polymorphisms have recently been associated with obesity in European populations. This study aimed to examine whether common PCSK1 genetic variation is associated with obesity and related metabolic phenotypes in the Chinese population. We genotyped nine common tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (tagSNP) of the PCSK1 gene in 1,094 subjects of Chinese...
