Association of FTO gene variants with adiposity in African-American adolescents.

Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) - 1 Oct 2010

Bollepalli Sureka, Dolan Lawrence M, Deka Ranjan, Martin Lisa J

Abstract excerpt

The prevalence of obesity continues to increase significantly, with the largest rise in the African-American adolescents. Genetic contributions to obesity are being identified with the advent of genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Specifically, variants of the fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene have been associated with obesity in populations of European descent. The studies in African Americans have...
