Abstract excerpt
Aim: GDF15 levels are a biomarker for metformin use. We performed the functional annotation of noncoding genome-wide association study (GWAS) SNPs for GDF15 levels and the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx)-expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) for GDF15 expression within metformin-activated enhancers around GDF15. Materials & methods: These enhancers were identified using chromatin immunoprecipitation...
