The common genetic variant upstream of INSIG2 gene is not associated with obesity in Indian population.

Clinical genetics - 1 May 2007

Kumar J, Sunkishala R R, Karthikeyan G, Sengupta S

Abstract excerpt

The high incidence of obesity has resulted in increased morbidity and mortality worldwide. Obesity, a common lifestyle disorder, is caused by multiple factors with heredity playing a strong causal role. Recently, a genetic variation upstream of insulin-induced gene 2 (INSIG2) (rs7566605) has been...
