constitutional     --low  
is correlated with the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD)
constitutional     --low  
decreased serum AHSG levels were independently associated with disease activity in patients with Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis
constitutional     --low  
in patients with Alzheimer, disease in proportion to the severity of cognitive impairment
constitutional     --low  
nephrolithiasis patients had lower AHSG protein level in urine and renal tissue
constitutional     --low  
AHSG, MMP9, and MMP3 levels were significantly lower in migraine than controls
constitutional     --over  
in diabetes patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
constitutional     --low  
serum AHSG concentration is decreased and reflects-at least partly-systemic inflammation in preeclampsia
Susceptibility to low body mass index
Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • SNP associated to low body mass index
  • variant Thr230Met associated with a marked increase in beta2-adrenoceptor sensitivity in subcutaneous fat cells, which may be of importance in body weight regulation
  • Candidate gene
    Marker
  • may serve as a biological link between vascular disease and normal age-related cognitive decline
  • biomarker reported to be important in many metabolic disorders, including obesity, diabetes, and hepatic steatosis
  • Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Fetuin-A deficiency in mice resulted in decreased hepcidin mRNA levels
