Background: Resistin is a hormone that potentially links obesity to T2DM. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in the resistin gene (RETN). Polymorphism of RETN +299 (G>A) may contribute to increased resistin levels, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of T2DM.Aim of work: To study the association between resistin gene +299 polymorphism and insulin resistance in non-diabetic offspring of T2DM.<p class="abstext...
