Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Several polymorphisms of the melatonin receptor 1B gene (MTNR1B) have been shown to be associated with elevated fasting plasma glucose and impaired early insulin release. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of MTNR1B variants on traits related to the metabolic syndrome in the self-contained population of Sorbs from Germany. As comprehensive studies concerning the conservation of MTNR1B are...
