Nucleotide variability and haplotype heterogeneity at the porcine fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene.

Animal genetics - 1 Feb 2013

Fontanesi L, Russo V

Abstract excerpt

A large number of studies have confirmed that variants within the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene are associated with higher obesity risk in humans. We and others have shown that FTO polymorphisms are associated with fat deposition and related traits in several pig populations, thus confirming the role of this gene in fatness across species. However, some differences observed in different pig...
