Association of +62 G>A Polymorphism in the Resistin Gene with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus among Thais: Case-Control Study.

Introduction: Resistin gene (RETN) polymorphisms in humans may have a role in the pathogenesis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and insulin resistance. There is still lack of evidence on association between +62 G>A polymorphism in the RETN and T2DM among Thais.

Aim: To determine the effect of polymorphisms at +62 G>A of RETN on Thai T2DM.
