Introduction: Dysregulation of the insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF) system and particularly IGF-I and IGF binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity, diabetes mellitus and its complications such as cardiovascular disease and nephropathy, but relatively little is known about the genomics of the IGF system in health and disease.Methods: Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in the IGFBP-1 gene, in a r...

Introduction: Dysregulation of the Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF) system and particularly IGF-I and IGF-binding protein 1 (IGFBP-1) has been implicated in the aetiopathogenesis of obesity, diabetes mellitus and such complications such as cardiovascular disease and nephropathy. However, relatively little is known about the genomics of the IGF system in health and disease.Methods: Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in the IGFBP1...
