The other five NR3C1 SNPs were selected based on their association with factors related to MetS, e.g., in the European population, rs6877893 was associated with reduced waist circumference adjusted for body mass index (BMI) [27] and rs258763*T, rs7701443*G, and rs72802813*A alleles were associated with reduced hip circumference adjusted for BMI [28]. This evidence concerns the gene NR3C1 and metabolic syndrome.
