Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Association between genetic variants at the FTO locus and obesity has been consistently observed in populations of European ancestry and inconsistently in non-Europeans. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of FTO variants on obesity and type 2 diabetes in Southeast Asian populations. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We examined associations between nine previously reported FTO single...
