Abstract excerpt

Obesity is an epidemic of the 21st century. The magnitude of this problem stems from its increasing prevalence and numerous metabolic complications caused by excessive fat accumulation. The pathogenesis involves both environmental and genetic factors, and FTO (fat mass and obesity-associated gene) is one of the most significant among genes predisposing to obesity. The role of FTO polymorphism in the development...
