Abstract
We aimed at observing the association of a common genetic variant near the INSIG2 gene (rs7655505) with body mass index (BMI) related obesity in a population-based association study in Uyghur population. We observed a significant association of rs7566605 polymorphism with BMI related obesity in Uyghurs with an odds ratio of 1.47 (95% CI 1.11-1.95, P = 0.006) under a dominant model (CC + GC versus GG). The mean BMI of rs7566605 CC + GC was 0.59 kg/m2 higher than for GG genotype (P = 0.024), regardless of sex and age. © 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
