Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms of the NR3C1 (glucocorticoid receptor) gene have been reported to be associated with altered glucocorticoids sensitivity and changes in body composition and metabolic parameters. This study explored the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the NR3C1 gene and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a Chinese population. Fourteen tag-SNPs and five functionally important SNPs in the...
