Genetic variants of resistin and its plasma levels: Association with obesity and dyslipidemia related to type 2 diabetes susceptibility

Resistin, an adipokine, is involved in obesity and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The current study evaluates the association between RETN polymorphisms (-638 G/A, -420C/G & -358 G/A) and the risk towards T2D. Controls and T2D patients were enrolled from Gujarat, India. Polymorphisms of RETN were genotyped by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism. For the genotype-phenotype correlation analysis Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG),...
