BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association and linkage studies have identified multiple susceptibility loci for obesity. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that such loci may affect weight loss and comorbidity amelioration outcomes following a gastric-bypass. DESIGN: A total of 200 obese patients who underwent a gastric bypass surgery were genotyped for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in insulin induced gene 2 (INSIG2)...
