Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The common polymorphism rs17782313 lying 188 kb downstream of the MC4R gene has recently been found to be unequivocally associated with body mass index (BMI) and obesity risk in adults and children. Our objective was to test the association between rs17782313 and neonatal weight gain in a contemporary population. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional, hospital-based study using 278 healthy...
