Wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 10B (WNT10B) is an activator of the Wnt pathway. The Wnt pathway is known to play an important role in maintenance and differentiation of stem cells and has been implicated in the origination of obesity. To evaluate the role of genetic variation in WNT10B in obesity further, we performed a mutation analysis on Belgian obese patients and control subjects. A...
