By using a GWAS analysis, Tekola-Ayele et al. also demonstrated that the rs73989312 SNP near the carbonic anhydrase 10 (CA10) gene and the rs77244975 SNP in the catenin alpha 3 (CTNNA3) gene may be a determinant of MetS in an African population [11]. This evidence concerns the gene CTNNA3 and metabolic syndrome.
