Correlates of the FTO gene variant (rs9939609) and growth of American Indian infants.

Genetic testing and molecular biomarkers - 1 Sept 2011

Abstract excerpt

AIM: Obesity is a global, growing public-health problem. The detrimental health consequences of obesity are significant and include co-morbidities such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, and some types of cancer. To date, findings relating the A allele of the FTO variant rs9939609 to increased energy intake and risk for obesity have been fairly consistent across multiple populations. However, it is not known...
