An obesity-related locus in chromosome region 12q23-24.

Diabetes - 1 Mar 2004

Abstract excerpt

Obesity is a growing health problem in the U.S. As a complex trait, obesity involves multiple genes and gene-gene and gene-environment interactions that contribute to its pathogenesis. Here we report significant linkage from a scan of a large sample segregating extreme obesity and normal weight. We have used 382 microsatellite markers in 1,297 individuals from 260 European-American families. We conducted...
