Genome-wide scan revealed genetic loci for energy metabolism in Hispanic children and adolescents.

International journal of obesity (2005) - 1 Apr 2008

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Genome-wide scans were conducted in search for genetic locations linked to energy expenditure and substrate oxidation in children. DESIGN: Pedigreed data of 1030 Hispanic children and adolescents were from the Viva La Familia Study which was designed to investigate genetic and environmental risk factors for the development of obesity in Hispanic families. A respiratory calorimeter was used to measure...
