Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Variants downstream of the melanocortin-4 receptor gene (MC4R) have been reported to associate with obesity. We examined rs17782313, rs17700633, rs12970134, rs477181, rs502933, and near MC4R for association with obesity-related quantitative traits, obesity, and type 2 diabetes in Danish individuals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The variants were investigated for association with...
