Cross-species replication of a resistin mRNA QTL, but not QTLs for circulating levels of resistin, in human and baboon

Cross-species replication of a resistin mRNA QTL, but not QTLs for circulating levels of resistin, in human and baboon

Resistin has been associated with inflammation and risk for cardiovascular disease. We previously reported evidence of a QTL on chromosome 19p13 affecting the abundance of resistin (RETN) mRNA in the omental adipose tissue of baboons (L0D score 3.8). In this study, whole genome transcription levels...
