Recent progress in the genetics of common obesity.

British journal of clinical pharmacology - 1 Dec 2009

Loos Ruth J F

Abstract excerpt

The genetic contribution to interindividual variation in common obesity has been estimated at 40-70%. Yet, despite a relatively high heritability, the search for obesity susceptibility genes has been an arduous task. This paper reviews recent progress made in the obesity genetics field with an emphasis on established obesity susceptibility loci identified through candidate gene as well as genome-wide studies. For...
