Population-specific coding variant underlies genome-wide association with adiponectin level
18 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Adiponectin is a protein hormone that can affect major metabolic processes including glucose regulation and fat metabolism. Our previous genome-wide association (GWA) study of circulating plasma adiponectin levels in Filipino women from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey (CLHNS) detected a 100 kb two-SNP haplotype at KNG1-ADIPOQ associated with reduced adiponectin (frequency = 0.050, P = 1.8 ×...
