Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Obesity has emerged as one of the most serious public health concerns in the twenty-first century. the fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) has been found to contribute to the risk of obesity in humans. Our aims in this study were to investigate the association of rs9939609 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the FTO gene with different obesity-related parameters, to assess the FTO gene...
