Paternal transmission of the very common class I INS VNTR alleles predisposes to childhood obesity.

Nature genetics - 1 Sept 2001

Le Stunff C, Fallin D, Bougnères P

Abstract excerpt

To identify some of the genetic factors that contribute to obesity in children of Central European and North African descent, we studied the parental transmission of alleles at the insulin locus to offspring with early-onset obesity. A variable nucleotide tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism upstrea...
