Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Recent genome-wide association studies found common variants near the melanocortin 4 receptor gene associated with obesity. This study aimed to assess the influence of the identified single nucleotide polymorphisms rs17782313 and rs17700633 on general and visceral adiposity in European- and African-American youth. STUDY DESIGN: In 1890 youth (49.1% European-American, 45.6% male, mean age 16.7 years),...
