Abstract excerpt

The common single-nucleotide polymorphism in the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene is consistently associated with an increased risk of obesity. However, the knowledge of a potential modifying effect of the FTO gene on changes in body weight achieved by lifestyle intervention is limited. We examined whether the FTO gene variant (rs9939609, T/A) is associated with body weight and BMI and long-term weight...
