    Susceptibility to age-dependent insulin resistance
    Variant & Polymorphism other rs629566 G/G genotype exhibited higher muscle NDUFB6 expression, but is associated with reduced expression in elderly subjects, and degree of DNA methylation correlated negatively with muscle NDUFB6 expression, which in turn was associated with insulin sensitivity (Ling 2007)
