Resistin Polymorphisms Are Associated with Muscle, Bone, and Fat Phenotypes in White Men and Women.

The article presents the research which dealt with the association of resistin polymorphisms with muscle, bone and fat phenotypes in U.S. men and women. Researchers mention that the polymorphisms in the human resistin gene were associates with physiologically different phenotypes. They also state that the novelty of the associations and the strong genetic effects observed warrant further investigation.
