Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder, frequently observed in obese individuals, with shared mechanisms involving leptin and its receptor, which regulate appetite and energy expenditure. SH2B1 is a key enhancer of signaling in the leptin receptor pathway. This study aimed to investigate the association between SH2B1 variants and OSA. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This case-control...
