Abstract excerpt

CD36 variants have been associated with type 2 diabetes, features of the metabolic syndrome, and alterations in lipid metabolism. In contrast, the effect of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CD36 on insulin resistance is controversial in literature. Therefore, we investigated whether genetic variation within the CD36 gene locus affects insulin resistance in a well-phenotyped cohort of white European...
