Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies on body mass index (BMI) have identified an FTO polymorphism (rs9939609) as having the strongest effect. AIM: We examined the effect of FTO genotype on body composition at the age of 6 months using skinfold thickness measurements and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). MATERIAL/SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This study was embedded in a population-based prospective cohort...
