Abstract excerpt
Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) is involved in the stimulation of insulin action. Polymorphisms in the IGF2BP2 gene have been analyzed in numerous studies to assess the type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk attributed to these variants, but results are conflicting. To better understand the effect of rs4402960 polymorphism on T2D risk, we performed a comprehensive meta-analysis that included 35...
