A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the leptin receptor is associated with BMI, fat mass and leptin levels in postmenopausal Caucasian women.

Abstract excerpt

The human leptin (obese) receptor gene contains a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms, including GLN223ARG, which changes an amino acid on the extracellular region common to all isoforms of the receptor. Here, we demonstrate that, in postmenopausal Caucasian women, genotypes at that locus are associated with differences in body mass index (BMI), fat mass and serum leptin levels. Measurement of serum...
