Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: The IGF2 gene (IGF2) plays a key role in growth and is a candidate for association with obesity. Previous studies have reported that polymorphisms in IGF2 are associated with body weight and body mass index (BMI), but the results have been inconsistent. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was primarily to confirm the association with BMI and, secondarily, to study the associations with other indices of...
