Abstract excerpt
The protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type1 (PTPN1) gene encodes for the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, which suppresses the signaling pathway of leptin. Variations of the PTPN1 gene may lead to changes in leptin sensitivity and thereby influence eating behavior and measures of obesity. This study investigated the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the PTPN1 gene and eating...
