GCKR variants increase triglycerides while protecting from insulin resistance in Chinese children.
BACKGROUND: Variants in gene encoding glucokinase regulator protein (GCKR) were found to have converse effects on triglycerides and glucose metabolic traits. We aimed to investigate the influence of GCKR variants for triglycerides and glucose metabolic traits in Chinese children and adults. METHODS...
