title: Influence of Lys656Asn polymorphism of leptin receptor gene on insulin resistance in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2.
abstract: This is a descriptive study in diabetic patients. Mutant type patient (39%) (Lys656/Asn656 or Asn656/Asn656) group had higher fat mass, HOMA, CRP and leptin than wild type. Adiponectin levels were lower in mutant type group than wild type (61%) (Lys656/Lys656).
