Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between the polymorphisms of melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) gene and obesity. METHODS: The genotypes of three polymorphisms, nt-216C/T, nt-178A/C, and Val103Ile, were determined through DNA sequencing in 563 Chinese from Shanghai, including 258 individuals with body mass index (BMI) over 30 kg/m(2) and 305 individuals with BMI less than 23 kg/m(2). Height and body weight...
