Do allelic variants of SLC6A14 predispose to obesity?

The Journal of clinical investigation - 1 Dec 2003

Tiwari Hemant K, Allison David B

Abstract excerpt

Obesity is arguably the world's most prevalent nutritional disorder and is a substantial contributor to morbidity and early mortality. Obesity is known to have a strong genetic component, but the specific influential genes in humans are largely unknown. A new paper describes a genetic variant that appears as though it may cause some people to be fatter or thinner than others (see the related article beginning on...
