Association between resistin gene (-420 C > G) polymorphism and acne vulgaris.

Our study is the first report investigating the relationship between the risk of AV and resistin gene (-420 C > G) polymorphism in the Turkish population. Resistin gene (-420 C > G) polymorphism is related to AV pathogenesis. CG genotype has a protective role and may be linked to a reduced risk of AV development. Furthermore, studies are needed to verify these findings in other populations.
