Association study between a polymorphic poly-T repeat sequence in the promoter of the somatostatin gene and metabolic syndrome.

BMC medical genetics - 27 Jul 2018

Tremblay Monique, Brisson Diane, Gaudet Daniel

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of factors associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and coronary artery disease (CAD). It is a complex disorder resulting from the interaction between various environmental factors and genetic susceptibility. The somatostatin (SST) gene has been shown to regulate a wide range of functions, particularly in energy homeostasis. In...
