Polymorphisms of the FTO gene are associated with variation in energy intake, but not energy expenditure.

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

Speakman John R, Rance Kellie A, Johnstone Alexandra M

Abstract excerpt

The FTO gene has significant polymorphic variation associated with obesity, but its function is unknown. We screened a population of 150 whites (103F/47M) resident in NE Scotland, United Kingdom, for variants of the FTO gene and linked these to phenotypic variation in their energy expenditure (basal metabolic rate (BMR) and maximal oxygen consumption VO(2)max) and energy intake. There was no significant...
