UCP2 gene promoter polymorphism modulates lipids in diabetic patients
Published in Obesity and Diabetes Week, November 8th, 2004
"A G/A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the position -866 of the UCP2 promoter modulates UCP2 expression in adipose tissue and pancreatic beta-cell, and is associated with variations of body mass index (BMI) and insulin secretion in nondiabetic subjects. We investigated associations of this SNP with traits related to obesity, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. The -866 G/A SNP in the UCP2 promoter was genotyped by PCR/RFLP in 681 type 2 diabetic patients," researchers in France report.
"Increased triglyceride...
