Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Genome-wide association studies have identified associations between a common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; rs267738) in CERS2, a gene that encodes a (dihydro)ceramide synthase that is involved in the biosynthesis of very-long-chain sphingolipids (eg, C20-C26) and indices of metabolic dysfunction (eg, impaired glucose homeostasis). However, the biological consequences of this mutation on enzyme...
