The CART gene and human obesity: mutational analysis and population genetics.

1 May 2000

Abstract excerpt

The cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) peptide is a recently characterized neuropeptide implicated in the control of appetite. We hypothesized that genetic variation in CART may contribute to human obesity. The entire coding region of CART was determined by nucleotide sequencing in 91 unrelated subjects with severe early-onset obesity. A novel amino acid change, Ser66Thr, was found in 2 probands...
