Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the obesity genes the fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) and the insulin induced gene 2 (INSIG2) are associated with class III, or morbid, obesity in patients undergoing bariatric weight loss operations. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of genotype and clinical data. SETTING: Large rural tertiary care health system. PATIENTS: A...
