Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between VNTR polymorphisms of DRD4, DAT1 and 5-HTT genes and obesity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Peripheral blood samples of 234 obese (BMI ≥ 30) and 148 healthy individuals (BMI ≤ 25) were objected to PCR to detect the VNTR of the 2nd intron of 5-HTT, 3rd exon of DRD4 and 3'UTR of DAT1 genes. RESULTS: The association between obesity and genotype distributions of 5-HTT, DAT1...
