Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: A recent genome-wide association study suggests that genetic variation within the vaspin gene might contribute to the variability in circulating serum visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor (vaspin) concentrations. Here, we analyzed the functional consequences of the rare variant rs61757459 predicting a premature stop codon and its impact on circulating serum vaspin concentrations....
