Abstract: Vitamin D‐binding protein or group‐specific component (Gc) is the major plasma carrier protein of Vitamin D. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms, rs7041 (NM_000583.3:c.1296G>T;NP_000574.2:p.Asp432Glu) and rs4588 (c.1307C>A; p.Thr436Lys), in the GC gene result in three major genotypes,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes13040664
Abstract: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is responsible for the hydrolysis of lipoproteins; hence defective LPL is associated with metabolic disorders. Here, we identify certain intronic insertions and deletions (InDels) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in intron 6… read more here.
