Association of polymorphisms in leptin receptor gene with obesity and type 2 diabetes in the local population of Coimbatore

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Candidate gene association studies are very relevant to the area of clinical pharmacology. As information on candidate genes and candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms increases, a number of such candidates can be studied in a population to explore their association with their susceptible disease. One such attractive and popular Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) candidate for obesity is the gene...
