Abstract

Aims Resistin, secreted from adipocytes, causes insulin resistance in mice. We previously reported that the G/G genotype of a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-420 (rs1862513) in the human resistin gene (RETN) resulted in an increase in circulating resistin and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D). Whereas PPARG Pro12Ala Pro/Pro and RETN SNP-420 G/G genotypes were synergistically associated with plasma resistin, no other trans-acting SNPs associated with circulating resistin have been reported.
