Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Following several reports of linkage of obesity related phenotypes to human chromosome 20q we sought to determine whether variations of the melanocortin 3 receptor (MC3R) gene are associated with obesity. DESIGN: We screened the MC3R gene coding region and approximately 2 kb of 5' and 3' flanking sequences for DNA variants in unrelated extremely obese women and average weight controls using polymerase...
