Genetics and epigenetics of obesity.

Maturitas - 1 May 2011

Herrera Blanca M, Keildson Sarah, Lindgren Cecilia M

Abstract excerpt

Obesity results from interactions between environmental and genetic factors. Despite a relatively high heritability of common, non-syndromic obesity (40-70%), the search for genetic variants contributing to susceptibility has been a challenging task. Genome wide association (GWA) studies have dramatically changed the pace of detection of common genetic susceptibility variants. To date, more than 40 genetic...
