Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate linkage and association between the leptin receptor (LEPR) gene and body composition variables in the Quebec Family Study (QFS). DESIGN: Single-point linkage analysis using families, and covariance and chi-square analyses using normal weight and obese unrelated subjects from QFS. SUBJECTS: 169 nuclear families were used for linkage study. 308 unrelated subjects (146 males; 162 females)...
