Association of Adiponectin Gene Polymorphisms with the Risk of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in a Chinese Han Population

Conclusions: In this Northern Chinese Han population, the Adrs266729 and rs2241766 G alleles were closely associated with the occurrence of NAFLD. However, only NAFLD patients who carried the Adrs266729 G allele had an increased risk of developing CAD.,Objectives: The present study was designed to evaluate the association between Ad gene polymorphisms (rs266729 and rs2241766) and the risk of developing CAD in Northern Han Chinese patients with NAFLD.
