Association of CHRNA2 polymorphisms with overweight/obesity and clinical characteristics in a Korean population.

Clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine - 1 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genes correlated with nicotine may be important in obesity because of the role of nicotine in food intake. METHODS: To determine if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha2 subunit gene (CHRNA2) are associated with overweight/obesity, 156 non-obese and 200 overweight/obese Koreans were genotyped for four CHRNA2 SNPs using an Affymetrix Array Chip....
