Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Childhood obesity has a strong genetic background. The human UBL5 (BEACON) gene has been suggested as a candidate gene for obesity. Previous studies in populations of different ethnicities have shown a significant association between UBL5 variants and measures of body fatness. AIMS: To identify mutations that may cause early-onset obesity we screened the UBL5 gene for sequence variations in a cohort...
