Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Altered expression of six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate 4 (STEAP4) is linked to obesity, insulin insensitivity, metabolic homeostasis, and inflammation. This study assessed STEAP4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for association with a risk in developing metabolic syndrome in a Han Chinese population. METHODS: A total of 3375 Han Chinese subjects were included in this case-control...
