Abstract excerpt

The occurrence of obesity, eating disorders, and related diseases has increased in many parts of the world. Given that few strong genetic factors have been found, it is clear that these are complex multi-factorial diseases. The serotonin receptor 2C, a member of the 5-HTergic system, has been implicated in the control of phagia and obesity. We report a detailed investigation of linkage disequilibrium (LD) within...
