Sequence variation within the neuropeptide Y gene and obesity in Mexican Americans.

Obesity research - 1 May 2000

Bray M S, Boerwinkle E, Hanis C L

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Recently, we reported evidence for linkage between neuropeptide Y (NPY) and both obesity and several obesity-related quantitative measures in a sample of Mexican Americans from Starr County, Texas. The purpose of this study was to investigate putative variation within the coding and promoter regions of NPY. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Five young, obese individuals (body mass index [BMI] 33 to 45...
