Linkage analysis of candidate obesity genes among the Mexican-American population of Starr County, Texas.

Genetic epidemiology - 1 Jan 1999

Bray M S, Boerwinkle E, Hanis C L

Abstract excerpt

Recent advances in the molecular basis of body fat regulation have identified several genes in which genetic variation may influence obesity and related measures in human populations. Genes that have been shown to have a regulatory function in the control of body fat utilization, eating behavior, and/or metabolic rate in rodent models of obesity include leptin (LEP), leptin receptor (LEPR), neuropeptide Y (NPY),...
