Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Our study investigated the association between transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2-rs7903146), angiotensin convertase enzyme (ACE-rs4646994), angiotensinogen (AGT-rs699), angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGT1R-rs5186), fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO-rs17817499) and melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R-, and ) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with type 2 diabetes...
