Associations between a polymorphism in the pleiotropic GCKR and Age-related phenotypes: the HALCyon programme.

Associations between a polymorphism in the pleiotropic GCKR and Age-related phenotypes: the HALCyon programme.

BACKGROUND:The glucokinase regulatory protein encoded by GCKR plays an important role in glucose metabolism and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1260326 (P446L) in the gene has been associated with several age-related biomarkers, including triglycerides, glucose, insulin and apolipoproteins....
