Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between melanocortin-3 receptor common genetic polymorphisms with childhood obesity and eating behavior in Chilean families. METHODS: Two hundred twenty-nine obese children (6-12 y old, body mass index >95th percentile of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/National Center for Health Statistics, 2000) and 270 parents were selected. Genotypes for MC3R genetic markers...
