Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The minor allele frequencies (MAFs) of the FTO gene vary substantially among different ethnic groups, and this variation may explain, to some degree, the differences between estimates of the effects of these alleles on body fat distribution indicators. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene variants characterizing the structure...
