Association of RBP4 Genotype with Phenotypic Reproductive Traits of Sows [PDF]

Genetics Research International, 2016
PCR-RFLP was applied to a commercial crossbred pig population in order to investigate the association between polymorphism (SNP) of Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) gene and reproductive performance. 400 sows were genotyped and 2000 records of reproductive traits were used in order to retrieve information about the allele frequencies and the ...

Clinical, genetic and biochemical signatures of RBP4-related ocular malformations

Journal of Medical Genetics, 2023
Background The retinoic acid (RA) pathway plays a crucial role in both eye morphogenesis and the visual cycle. Individuals with monoallelic and biallelic pathogenic variants in retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), encoding a serum retinol-specific transporter, display variable ocular phenotypes.

RBP4 and THBS2 are serum biomarkers for diagnosis of colorectal cancer

Oncotarget, 2017
The potential role of serum RBP4 and THBS2 as biomarker in colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis has never been studied. We investigated in large sample using quantitative ELISA method to explore whether serum RBP4 and THBS2 can act as biomarkers for CRC diagnosis.

Association of urinary RBP4 with insulin resistance, inflammation, and microalbuminuria [PDF]

European Journal of Endocrinology, 2014
ObjectiveSerum concentrations of retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) are elevated in type 2 diabetes and associated with the severity of insulin resistance; however, there are few data about the relationship between urinary RBP4 levels and metabolic parameters.

Childhood retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) levels predicting the 10-year risk of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome: the BCAMS study

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2018
Background Elevated retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) levels may contribute to the development of metabolic abnormalities, but prospective studies evaluating the association between childhood RBP4 levels and metabolic syndrome (MS) in adulthood are ...

RBP4 variants are significantly associated with plasma RBP4 levels and hypertriglyceridemia risk in Chinese Hans

, 2019
We previously found that plasma RBP4 levels were strongly associated with metabolic syndrome components. This study aimed to determine whether RBP4 variants are associated with the metabolic syndrome components and plasma RBP4 levels, and to investigate ...

The Value of Urinary RBP4 in The Diagnosis of FSGS and other Renal Diseases. [PDF]

Trends in Biomedical Research, 2020
Abstract BackgroundFocal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is the leading cause of chronic renal failure worldwide. Unequivocal diagnosis of FSGS can only be made with a renal biopsy, which is an invasive, risk-associated medical procedure. The discovery of non-invasive molecular biomarkers for the diagnosis of FSGS still remains an important
