Association between three genetic variants of the Perilipin Gene (PLIN) and glucose metabolism: results from a replication study among Chinese adults and a meta-analysis.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: This study was aimed to replicate the associations between three Perilipin Gene (PLIN) variants (rs894160, rs1052700, and rs2304796) and diabetes risks and to evaluate the overall effects of these variants on diabetes risk and obesity risk. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study among 993 Chinese Han adults. We also made a meta-analysis to estimate associations between these variants and...
