Association study of HNF1A polymorphisms with metabolic syndrome in the Moroccan population.

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Variants in Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1 alpha (HNF1A) gene are associated with Metabolic Syndromeand its components independently. In this study, we aimed to assess the statistical association of the rs1169288, rs2464196 and rs735396 variants and haplotypes of HNF1A gene with metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components in a Moroccan population sample. METHODS: Three variants in the HNF1A gene were genotyped,...
