Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to examine the effect of genetic variants in fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene on metabolic syndrome (MetS). A systematic literature search was performed and random-effects meta-analysis was used to evaluate genetic variants in FTO with MetS. A gene-based analysis was conducted to investigate the cumulative effects of genetic polymorphisms in FTO. A total of 18 studies...
