Leptin and leptin receptor gene polymorphisms and their association with plasma leptin levels and obesity in a multi-ethnic Malaysian suburban population.

Journal of physiological anthropology - 20 Jun 2014

Fan Sook-Ha, Say Yee-How

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: This study was to investigate the prevalence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in leptin gene LEP (A19G and G2548A) and leptin receptor gene LEPR (K109R and Q223R) and their association with fasting plasma leptin level (PLL) and obesity in a Malaysian suburban population in Kampar, Perak. METHODS: Convenience sampling was performed with informed consents, and the study sample was drawn from...
