Article Synopsis
- The study examined how specific gene variants affect obesity and metabolic markers in non-diabetic Chilean adults, focusing on the SLC16A11 gene and its rs75493593 polymorphism.
- It involved 263 participants and used real-time PCR to analyze the association of this gene variant with various health metrics like insulin levels, body mass index (BMI), and lipid profiles through linear regression.
- Findings revealed that the minor allele of the variant is common among Chileans and is linked to higher insulin levels and BMI, indicating potential early metabolic risks that could lead to type 2 diabetes.
