[Association of UCP1 rs1800592, UCP2 rs660339, and UCP3 rs1800849 polymorphisms with body mass index and lipid metabolism parameters in the indigenous population of the North of Western Siberia].

Abstract excerpt

Population-based data on the association between genes regulating non-shivering thermogenesis (UCP) and adipose tissue metabolism are fragmentary and yield inconsistent results. The indigenous populations of high-latitude regions have been the least studied. This study aimed to assess the association of UCP1 (rs1800592), UCP2 (rs660339), and UCP3 (rs1800849) genotypes with body mass index (BMI) and lipid profile...
