Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The association between peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PPARGC1A) polymorphisms and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been investigated in several studies, but these studies yielded contradictory results. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the association between three polymorphisms (Gly482Ser, Thr394Thr and Thr612Met) in PPARGC1A and T2DM. METHODS: A...
