Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association of polymorphisms in SLC6A4 and MAOA genes with overweight (including obesity). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Young adults (n = 535) of Portuguese origin were genotyped for the SLC6A4 polymorphisms 5-HTTLPR and STin2 and a MAOA VNTR. BMI and body fat percentage were measured and a questionnaire was used to assess individual's sport practicing habits. RESULTS: In whole study...
