Adiponectin gene variants, adiponectin isoforms and cardiometabolic risk in type 2 diabetic patients

Aims/Introduction The aim of the present study was to examine the associations of rs2241766 (+45T>G), rs1501299 (+276G>T), rs17300539 (−11391G>A) and rs182052 (−10069G>A) in the adiponectin (Ad) gene with adiponectin concentrations, and concomitantly the association of these variants with cardiometabolic risk in type 2 diabetic patients of African ancestry.
