The 148M allele of the PNPLA3 gene is associated with indices of liver damage early in life

TL;DR: The data show that the PNPLA3 gene I148M variant is associated with increased levels of ALT/AST in obese children and adolescents, suggesting that it confers genetic susceptibility to liver damage from a young age.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of the human adiponectin gene and insulin resistance

TL;DR: Among leaner individuals, the adiponectin gene appears to determine an increased risk to develop insulin resistance, and this association is modulated by body mass index (BMI) levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

The adiponectin gene SNP+276G>T associates with early-onset coronary artery disease and with lower levels of adiponectin in younger coronary artery disease patients (age ≤50 years)

TL;DR: The significant association of the adiponectin gene in subjects with early-onset CAD also suggests that that genetic factors for late-ONSet diseases may exert a greater influence in younger persons, when other risk factors are not as prevalent as in older age groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Resistin Gene, Obesity, and Type 2 Diabetes: Mutation Analysis and Population Study

TL;DR: The data suggest that genetic defects of the resistin gene are unlikely to play a role in the etiology of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes and obesity in the population.
