FTO gene is related to obesity in Chilean Amerindian children and impairs HOMA-IR in prepubertal girls

5 Dec 2011

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the allelic frequency of the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene (rs9939609) and its influences on obesity and metabolic risk biomarkers in a cohort of normal weight and obese Chilean children determining its ethnicity. METHODS: A total of 136 normal weight children and 238 obese children (between 6 and 11 yr old) from an urban setting were...
