BACKGROUND: REV-ERBα has been shown to regulate adipogenesis and lipid metabolism as well as to link the circadian timing system to whole body metabolic homeostasis. We thus tested whether polymorphisms in REV-ERBα could be associated with metabolic phenotypes in human population samples. METHODS: We analyzed the associations between 5 REV-ERBα polymorphisms and anthropometric (body weight, body mass index (BMI),...
