Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Linkage and knock-out mice studies suggest that the melanocortin-3-receptor (MC3R) is a candidate gene for obesity. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether MC3R mutations underlie morbid obesity. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: MC3R coding and 5(')-flanking regions were sequenced in 48 subjects and the detected variants genotyped in 252 morbidly obese (BMI>/=40 kg/m(2)) Finns. Gel shifts were used to examine whether a...
