Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The Glu167Lys (E167K) variant in the transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2 protein (TM6SF2) was recently shown to influence liver fat (LFAT) content. We aimed at studying how this variant influences circulating triacylglycerol (TAG) signatures and whether it influences hepatic or adipose tissue insulin sensitivity. METHODS: We genotyped 300 Finnish subjects for the E167K (rs58542926) variant in...
