Abstract excerpt
Adiponectin produced by adipose tissue, which is involved in complex diseases related to obesity, such as cancer. Genetic variations in ADIPOQ are thought to influence the activity of adiponectin, thus relating to cancer occurrence. However, epidemiological results were inconsistent. To examine this controversy, we assessed reported studies of association between ADIPOQ polymorphisms and cancer risk. Relevant...
