Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: We previously reported that single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-420 C>G (rs1862513) in the promoter region of RETN was associated with type 2 diabetes. Plasma resistin was tightly correlated with SNP-420 genotypes. SNP-420 is a CpG-SNP affecting the sequence of cytosine-phosphate-guanine dinucleotides. OBJECTIVE: To examine whether methylation at SNP-420 affects plasma resistin, we analyzed plasma...
