Contribution of the functional 5-HTTLPR variant of the SLC6A4 gene to obesity risk in male adults.

Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) - 1 Feb 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A polymorphism in the promoter region of the serotonin transporter (5-HTTLPR) gene SLC6A4 shows functionally important 44-bp insertion/deletion alleles: long (L) and short (S). We have previously found that the S allele is a genetic risk factor for obesity in adolescents. OBJECTIVE: T...
