CRISPR editing of the PPARGC1A Gly482ser (rs8192678) polymorphism in human white adipose cells shows differential effects on mitochondrial function and adipogenesis.
Background and aims: PPARGC1A encodes PGC-1α (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1-α), a central regulator of energy metabolism and mitochondrial function. A common polymorphism in PPARGC1A (rs8192678, C/T, Gly482Ser) has been associated with obesity and related metabolic disorders, but no published functional studies have investigated direct allele-specific effects in adipoc
