Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify novel polymorphisms in the genes encoding the transcription factors CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha, beta and delta ( CEBPA, CEBPB, CEBPD) and investigate associations between polymorphisms and obesity-related phenotypes. METHODS: Denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to screen for novel gene variants and polymorphisms were genotyped in stored DNA from...
