Abstract excerpt
Genetically modified mice models suggest an important role for G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 5 (GRK5) in the pathophysiology of obesity and related disorders. We investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene encoding GRK5 affect cardiometabolic traits in humans. We genotyped 3 common SNPs in intron 1 (rs1980030, rs10466210, rs9325562) and one SNP in intron 3 (rs10886471) of GRK5 in...
