Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polymorphisms in HSD11B1, the gene encoding 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 enzyme, have been associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. In this study, we present an optimized high-resolution melting (HRM) method for genotyping two common polymorphisms of the HSD11B1 gene: rs846910: G>A and rs45487298: insA. METHODS: One hundred DNA samples from patients with polycystic...
