Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: FTO variants are robustly associated with obesity and related traits in many population and shown to have variable impact during life course. Although studies have shown association of FTO variants with adiposity in adult Indian, its association in Indian children is yet to be confirmed. METHODS: Here we examined association of FTO variants (rs9939609 and rs8050136) with obesity and related...
