Abstract excerpt

In 1474 healthy Caucasoid men aged 45-65 y, insulin-like growth factor II (IGF2) Apal AA homozygotes showed a mean body weight 4 kg lower than Apal GG homozygotes (77.6 +/- 10.9 kg vs 81.6 +/- 11.5 kg, P = 0.003) with heterozygotes (GA) intermediate (80.1 +/- 11.9 kg). The mean serum IGF-II conce...
