Circulating resistin levels and mutation burden of the RETN gene variants predict long-term mortality in a Taiwanese population by Lung-An Hsu, Ming-Sheng Teng, Semon Wu, Mei-Siou Liao, Hsin-Hua Chou, Yu-Lin Ko

“…Functional assays showed rs370006313 variant played a key role in affecting RETN promoter activity, whereas genotypes of rs3219175 and rs3745368, but not rs370006313, exhibited genome-wide significant associations with RETN promoter DNAm levels. Using Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analyses, participants with progressively increasing resistin levels had a higher hazard ratio for all-cause mortality and cancer mortality compared to those with lower resistin levels. …”
