Association of FTO gene variants with body composition in UK twins.

Annals of human genetics - 1 Sept 2012

Livshits Gregory, Malkin Ida, Moayyeri Alireza, Spector Timothy D, Hammond Christopher J

Abstract excerpt

The association of FTO gene variants with body mass index (BMI) and other obesity characteristics is well established. However, uncertainties remain whether the association is present only in young populations and whether it is attributable to body fat mass specifically. We aimed to clarify these two questions in a large sample (N= 4,523 individuals) of middle-aged and older (range 40-80 years) British female...
