Genetic variation in 9p21, dietary patterns, and insulin sensitivity

Abstract excerpt

Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the 9p21 region have been associated with cardiovascular disease and to a lesser extent insulin sensitivity. Previous studies have focused on older populations, and few have examined the impact of gene-diet interactions. The objective of this study was to determine the interaction between dietary patterns and 9p21 genotypes on insulin sensitivity in young adults from...
