Association between the ghrelin Leu72Met polymorphism and type 2 diabetes risk: a meta-analysis.

Gene - 1 Apr 2013

Liao Ning, Xie Zi-Kang, Huang Jian, Xie Zheng-Fu

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Data on the association between the ghrelin Leu72Met polymorphism and type 2 diabetes are conflicting. A meta-analysis was performed on this topic. METHODS: We searched for case-control studies using electronic databases (Medline and PubMed) and reference lists of studies. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) assuming dominant, recessive and homozygote comparison genetic models were...
