Correlation between single nucleotide polymorphism of adiponectin gene and type 2 diabetes in Chinese / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of adiponectin gene (SNP+45 and SNP+276) were screened in Chinese population. The results showed that the distribution of SNP+45 genotypes were significantly different and G/G genotype in type 2 diabetic population appeared more frequently than that in non-diabetic population. It suggests that adiponectin gene seems to be the susceptive gene in Chinese type 2 diabetics.
