Abstract excerpt
AIM: We performed a case-control study to assess the association between obesity risk and the Trp64Arg polymorphism of the beta 3-adrenergic receptor gene. METHODS: Obese subjects [n = 159; body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2] and controls (n = 154; BMI < 25 kg/m2) were compared using multivariable logistic regression to control for potential confounders.
