Abstract
Background: Apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) gene polymorphisms are associated with cardiometabolic risk factors, varying in ethnicities. This study aimed to investigate such association between the APOC3 -482C>T polymorphism and cardiometabolic risk factors in the turkish adult risk factor (TARF) study cohort, stratifying by gender and obesity.
