Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is implicated in the pathophysiology of diabetes and obesity. Previously, we demonstrated an association between the CAV1 rs1997623 C > A variant and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Here, we decipher the functional role of rs1997623 in CAV1 gene regulation. A cohort of 38 patients participated in this study. The quantitative MetS scores (siMS) of the participants were computed. CAV1 transcript and...
