Association studies between genetic variants of adiponectin gene and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D) and increased body mass index (BMI) have provided contradictory results. We selected 10 SNPs (rs2241767, rs1501299, rs3777261, rs16861210, rs2241766, rs822396, rs182052, rs17300539, rs16861194, rs266729) in promoter and coding regions of adiponectin gene based on haploblock structure and previously reported association studies. Selected SNPs were screened in 170 patient...
