Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Association with obesity and increased insulin levels have been reported for two variants (rs17782313 and rs12970134) located downstream of the melanocortin-4 receptor gene (MC4R). METHODS: We investigated whether these variants have sex-specific effects on overweight, obesity and 14 related phenotypes in 889 overweight and obese children and adolescents. We also explored the impact of the variants on...
