FTO genotype and weight status among preadolescents: Assessing the mediating effects of obesogenic appetitive traits.

Appetite - 1 Oct 2017

Emond Jennifer A, Tovar Alison, Li Zhigang, Lansigan Reina K, Gilbert-Diamond Diane

Abstract excerpt

Polymorphisms in the Fat Mass and Obesity Associated (FTO) gene are robustly associated with overweight and obesity among children, although the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We tested if appetitive traits partially mediated the association between FTO genotype and increased BMI among a sample of US preadolescents. Data were from 178 unrelated 9-10 year olds who participated in an experimental...
