Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Recently, genome-wide association studies have provided evidence that several common variants within the fat mass-and obesity-associated (FTO) gene were significantly associated with obesity in populations of European origin. However, their effects in other ethnic populations remain to be elucidated. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In this study, we examined the association between three FTO variants...
