The role of melanocortin 3 receptor gene in childhood obesity.

Diabetes - 1 Oct 2007

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Melanocortin 3 receptor (MC3R) plays a critical role in weight regulation of rodents, but its role in humans remains unclear. The objective of this study was to identify genetic variants of the MC3R gene and determine its association with childhood obesity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We screened 201 obese children for MC3R gene mutations with anthropometric measurements, blood tests, feeding...
