New insights into the genetics of body weight.

Current opinion in clinical nutrition and metabolic care - 1 Jul 2008

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: These last months, the wave of genome-wide association scans finally reached the shores of body weight and obesity complex trait. In parallel, thanks to the increasing sequencing and genotyping capacities, large studies on rare mutations can now be carried out. RECENT FINDINGS:...
