Is GAD2 on chromosome 10p12 a potential candidate gene for morbid obesity?

Nutrition reviews - 1 Sept 2005

Tiwari Hemant K, Bouchard Luigi, Pérusse Louis, Allison David B

Abstract excerpt

Morbidly obese individuals represent one of the fastest growing subpopulations of obese individuals. Thus, it is of significant interest to broaden our understanding of the potential genetic causes of this public health concern. A recent study investigated a role of positional candidate gene GAD2 (the gene for glutamic acid decarboxylase) in the development of morbid obesity. This commentary carefully examines...
