“…Although the function of most SNPs remains unclear, it has been shown that two common SNPs, rs1501299 (G276T) and rs2241766 (T45G), may affect disease susceptibility. They have been associated with serum adiponectin (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26), obesity (21,25,27,28), insulin sensitivity (18,21,29), type II diabetes (17,20,30) and coronary artery disease (24,31). However, some of these associations have been unable to be confirmed in other studies and the results have been controversial (32)(33)(34).…”
