Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Low adiponectin concentration observed in obese patients is associated with a high risk of metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases and could be related to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in T-cadherin gene (CDH13). T-cadherin is a receptor for adiponectin and low-density lipoprotein. Aim of this study was to investigate association of CDH13 SNPs with the development of obesity in...
