Genetic variation in 9p21 is associated with fasting insulin in women but not men.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2018

Mahdavi Sara, Jenkins David J A, El-Sohemy Ahmed

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 9p21 region have been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), but previous studies have focussed on older populations. The objective of this study was to determine the association between 9p21 genotypes and biomarkers of CVD risk in young adults from different ethnocultural groups. METHODS: Subjects were 1,626 participants aged 20-29 years from the...
