Diabetes and hypertension frequently occur together. There is substantial overlap between
diabetes and hypertension in etiology and disease mechanisms. Obesity, inflammation …

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic traits associated with an increased risk
of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Central obesity and insulin …

Background: Fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) is the strongest genetic determinant of
obesity identified to date. Dietary fat is a key environmental factor that may interact with …

As the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in children and young adults is increasing,
a better understanding of genetics that underlie MetS will provide critical insights into the …

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is prevalent in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. The comorbidity of
MetS and T2D increases the risk of cardiovascular complications. The aim of the present …

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of genetic variants in fat mass and
obesity associated (FTO) gene on metabolic syndrome (MetS). A systematic literature search …

Background Variations within fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene had crosstalk with
obesity risk in European and some Asian populations. This study was designed to …

Background Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which are located in the first intron of
the FTO gene, are reported to be associated with body weight and the body mass index …

Recent genome-wide association studies have showed that common variant (rs9939609) in
fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene was significantly associated with type 2 …

Studies in Asian Indians have examined the association of metabolic traits with vitamin D
status. However, findings have been quite inconsistent. Hence, we aimed to explore the …
