Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the impact of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (-38C>T) in the promoter of the human agouti-related protein (hAgRP) gene on promoter affinity for transcription factors (TFs) and its possible association with body composition phenotypes. DESIGN: Electrophoretic mobility shift assays for the functional studies and association analyses for the population...
