Individual genetic variations related to satiety and appetite control increase risk of obesity in preschool-age children in the STRONG kids program.

Human heredity - 1 Jan 2013

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The burden of the childhood obesity epidemic is well recognized; nevertheless, the genetic markers and gene-environment interactions associated with the development of common obesity are still unknown. In this study, candidate genes associated to satiety and appetite control pathways with obesity-related traits were tested in Caucasian preschoolers from the STRONG Kids project. METHODS: Eight...
