METHODS FOR DETECTION OF RISK OF OBESITY AND RISK OF ONSET OF DIABETES
摘要
<p>Provided is a method of measuring the expression level of FSTL3 gene in a biological sample and correlating the measured expression level with the detection of a risk of developing diabetes. Also provided is a method of measuring the expression level of FSTL3 gene in an individual with a BMI value less than 25 not clinically determined as obesity and correlating the measured expression level with the detection of a risk of developing obesity. Further provided is a method of measuring the expression level of FSTL3 gene in an individual with a BMI value less than 25 and correlating the measured expression level with the detection of a risk of developing diabetes. Further provided is a method of measuring an inhibin ²B gene expression level and correlating the ratio of expression level of FSTL3 gene to inhibin ²B gene with the detection of a risk of developing obesity or diabetes.</p>
