Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Because of their location in known candidate gene regions for obesity the associations between six microsatellite markers (D2S2170, D2S144, D2S1268, D2S1788, D2S1348 and a tetranucleotide repeat in the 3' UTR of the LEP locus) and body mass index (BMI) were studied in adult Samoans. DESIGN: The study was designed to detect differences in the proportion of alleles at the six microsatellite markers...
