Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the possible role of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) gene polymorphisms in childhood obesity and related metabolic disorders. METHODS: Obese patients (n=100) and healthy controls (n=100) were analyzed for -866G>A and insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphisms of the UCP2 gene by polymerase chain raction and/or restriction fragment length polymorphism. RESULTS: UCP2 I/D...
