Abstract excerpt
Both genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors are associated with the risk for obesity. Multiple obesity loci have been identified using genome-wide association studies mainly in European populations. The aims of this study were to examine the associations of these loci with obesity and gene×dietary behavior interactions among Chinese children and adolescents. Nineteen candidate SNPs were genotyped using...
