In the current study, we have studied the association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) +45 T>G (rs2241766) and +276 G>T (rs1501299) of the adiponectin gene with coronary artery disease (CAD) on an Arab/North-African population from Tunisia.
Associations between two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs2241766 and rs1501299) of ADIPOQ gene and coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetic patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Polymorphisms in rs1501299 and rs2241766, and their additional interactions between rs1501299 and smoking were associated with increased CHD risks: polymorphism in rs7649121 was associated with decreased CHD risks.
Eleven studies covering 4303 subjects focusing on two polymorphisms [+45T→G (rs2241766) and +276G→T (rs1501299)] in the adiponectin gene and risk of CHD were included in the meta-analysis.
