DRD4 gene variant associated with body mass: the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health.

Human mutation - 1 Mar 2006

Guo Guang, North Kari, Choi Seulki

Abstract excerpt

In this article we report a novel statistically significant association between the D4.7/D4.7 genotype of the DRD4 gene and the body mass of black and Hispanic participants in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). We investigated the role of the 48-bp repeat polymorphism of the dopamine receptor 4 gene (DRD4) in body mass regulation in 2,277 adolescents and young adults followed in...
