Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Common FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene variants have recently been associated with body mass index (BMI) and obesity in several large studies. The role of lifestyle factors (such as physical activity) in those with an underlying FTO genetic predisposition is unknown. METHODS: To determine if FTO variants are associated with BMI in Old Order Amish (OOA) individuals, and to further determine...
