CONTEXT: The six-transmembrane protein of prostate 2 (STAMP2) has been shown to be involved in insulin resistance in animal models, but in humans, its role is far from understood. Our hypothesis was that genetic variation of STAMP2 could be associated with insulin resistance phenotypes such as the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in humans. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to search for associations between STAMP2...
