Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Strong evidence exists for an association between socioeconomic status and body mass index (BMI) as well as between genetic variants and BMI. The association of genetic variants with socioeconomic status has not yet been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate two obesity-related loci--the transmembrane 18 (TMEM18) and the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene--for their...
