Abstract

Aims: To explore associations between IRS-1 rs1801278 G>A polymorphism and metabolic syndrome (MS).

Methods: rs1801278 G>A was genotyped in 610 healthy Argentinian men.

Results: GA carriers had lower risk of MS (OR=0.52, P=0.045), particularly among smokers (OR=0.10, P=0.006).

Conclusions: rs1801278 GA carriers had lower risk of MS, especially among smokers.
