Hormone sensing transcription factor PPARG

The gene product is a hormone sensing transcription factor. Mutations cause autosomal dominant partial lipodystrophy type 3. Diseases associated with variations include glioma susceptibility 1, obesity, diabetes, and insulin resistance. Somatic mutations are observed in colon cancer cells.
