Abstract excerpt

We investigated the role of the fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) and variants near the melanocortin-4 receptor gene (MC4R) in modulating habitual intake of total energy and macronutrients, glycemic index, glycemic load, dietary energy density, and energy from 20 food groups in adults. In a population-based sample of 756 healthy adult twin pairs, we studied associations between FTO rs9939609, near-MC4R...
