Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Studies in adults identified the -803 G>A promoter polymorphism (rs3758539) in the RBP4 gene (RBP4) as a functional variant conferring an increased risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes. METHODS: We genotyped this polymorphism in a cohort of 304 lean and 283 obese children to assess a potential association with early onset obesity and blood pressure and evaluated the effect of this SNP on metabolic...
