Obesity genetics: insights from the Pakistani population.

Obesity reviews : an official journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity - 1 Mar 2018

Pigeyre M, Saqlain M, Turcotte M, Raja G K, Meyre D

Abstract excerpt

The Pakistani population is extensively diverse, indicating a genetic admixture of European and Central/West Asian migrants with indigenous South Asian gene pools. Pakistanis are organized in different ethnicities/castes based on cultural, linguistic and geographical origin. While Pakistan is facing a rapid nutritional transition, the rising prevalence of obesity is driving a growing burden of health...
