Insulin gene variable number of tandem repeats is associated with increased fat mass during adolescence in non-obese girls.

Scandinavian journal of clinical and laboratory investigation - 1 Jan 2005

Thorsby P M, Berg J P, Birkeland K I

Abstract excerpt

Obesity and related disorders have become a major health problem. Understanding the interaction between genetic and environmental factors influencing the susceptibility to develop obesity is important when pinpointing people at risk. In a longitudinal study of 256 non-obese adolescents, the influence of the insulin gene (INS) variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) on anthropometric measures and fat mass was...
