Abstract excerpt

Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) has been found to be associated with rare Mendelian forms of obesity in children, and, in linkage studies, genomic regions containing the POMC locus have been linked to leptin levels, a predictor of obesity, in white, Mexican-American, and African-American families. POMC polymorphisms have not been investigated in detail for association with obesity in the general population. Five...
