Abstract excerpt

Nucleobindin 2 (NUCB2) is a precursor of nesfatin-1, a hypothalamic anorectic neuropeptide. The association between variants of the NUCB2 gene and adiposity was examined. 142 severely obese Chinese children in Singapore, and 384 normal weight Chinese children from a longitudinal cohort from Da Qing, China, were studied. NUCB2 was screened using PCR and direct sequencing in 29 severely obese children and 24...
