Genetic and epigenetic associations to obesity-related appetite phenotypes among African-American children.

Pediatric obesity - 1 Dec 2015

Gardner K R, Sapienza C, Fisher J O

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic and epigenetic variations may be an important contributer to altered eating behaviors in childhood which may lead to weight gain and obesity later in life. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate epigenetic as well as genetic associations with appetite in young children. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Participants were 32 non-obese and 32 obese African-American children aged 5-6 years. Saliva was...
