Genetic Variation in CDH13 Is Associated With Lower Plasma Adiponectin Levels but Greater Adiponectin Sensitivity in East Asian Populations

Variants in the CDH13 gene have been identified as determinants of blood levels of adiponectin, an insulin-sensitizing adipokine. However, their association with other metabolic risk factors remains unclear. We examined variants at CDH13 in relation to total and high-molecular-weight (HMW) adiponect...
