Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To screen for mutations in the coding region of the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) gene and to assess the association between the rs17782313 variant near MC4R with childhood obesity and eating behavior. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional sample of 221 obese Chilean children and 26...
