The variability of PNPLA3 gene as a potential marker of cold adaptation in Yakuts

In this study, we identified two major diplotypes [GG][GG] and [CG][GG]. The high frequency of the mutant rs738409: G variant in Yakuts may be an adaptation of the organism to low temperatures. The study of the adiponutringene may be an important key to understanding the mechanisms of adaptation to low temperatures and metabolic processes in the indigenous population of the North.PMID:37581274 | PMC:PMC10431738 | DOI:10.1080/22423982.2023.2246647
