Association of Adiponectin Gene Variations with Risk of Incident Myocardial Infarction and Ischemic Stroke: A Nested Case-Control Study

Background: Adiponectin (ADIPOQ) gene variations are associated with risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes. No prospective data are available, however, on the risk of atherothrombotic disorders in persons with ADIPOQ variations who do not have diabetes. Methods: From a group of DN...
