Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: A Val1483Ile polymorphism in the human fatty acid sythase gene (FAS) has recently been shown to be associated with lower percentage of body fat and substrate oxidation rates in Pima Indians, but its role in other populations has not been described. Here, we investigate the effect of this variant on obesity in Caucasian children and adolescents. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: In total, 738 Caucasian children and...
