Variation in the fat mass and obesity-related (FTO) genotype is not associated with body fatness in infants, but possibly with their length.

Pediatric obesity - 1 Oct 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Data relating variation at the fat mass and obesity-related (FTO) locus (rs9939609) to fat mass in infancy are inconclusive. OBJECTIVE: To study relationships between FTO genotype and infant size (at 1 and 12 weeks and at 1 year of age) and body composition (at 1 and 12 weeks). METHODS: Body composition was assessed using air displacement plethysmography in 207 infants. FTO was genotyped using the...
