COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING PREDISPOSITION TO DEVELOPING METABOLIC SYNDROME

摘要

The present disclosure provides a method of detecting a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associated with metabolic syndrome in an individual; and a method of detecting a predisposition of an individual to develop metabolic syndrome. The present disclosure further provides nucleic acid reagents and kits for determining a subject's genotype with respect to a single nucleotide polymorphism at rs11246020 in a sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) gene.
