Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between the fat mass and obesity related (FTO) gene rs9939609 and near melanocortin-4-receptor (MC4R) gene rs17782313 polymorphisms with obesity measures and metabolic parameters in urban and rural dwelling Sri Lankans. METHODS: 535 subjects (60.9% female) from the general adult population (ages 18-70 years) representative of both urban (28.4%) and rural areas of...
