Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Cortisol is transported by corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) in blood. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the human CBG (SERPINA6) gene that disrupt CBG production or steroid binding are considered rare. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to identify and determine the frequency of SNP in SERPINA6 that influence the production or cortisol-binding properties of CBG in Chinese subjects....
