Abstract

Highlights: [•] The tumor suppressor gene CDKN2B is highly expressed in human adipose tissue. [•] Risk alleles at the 9p21 locus modify CDKN2B expression in a BMI-dependent fashion. [•] There is an inverse relationship between expression of CDKN2B and adipogenic genes. [•] CDKN2B expression influences to postprandial triacylglycerol clearance. [•] CDKN2B expression in adipose tissue is linked to markers of hepatic steatosis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
