Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs1042714 or glutamine 27 glutamic acid (Gln27Glu), in the adrenoceptor β2 surface (ADRB2) gene has previously been examined for association with obesity with inconclusive results. The objective of this study was to determine whether the ADRB2 rs1042714 SNP could influence obesity and obesity-related metabolic traits in a Taiwanese population. METHODS: The...
