Polymorphisms of INSIG2, MC4R, and LEP Are Associated With Obesity- and Metabolic-Related Traits in Schizophrenic Patients
21 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Schizophrenic patients have a high prevalence of metabolic adversities. Previous studies have suggested some candidate genes for obesity- and metabolic-related traits, including the insulin-induced gene (INSIG2), melanocortin 4 receptor gene (MC4R), and leptin and leptin receptor genes (LEP and LEPR). We aimed to investigate the associations between these genes and metabolic disturbances in patients...
