Abstract excerpt
DNA Methylation of NFATC2IP was recently identified as being causally related to body mass index. The present study aimed to examine the roles of the genetic variation, methylation and gene expression at this locus in adiposity changes in a 2-year weight-loss trial. Participants (n = 692) were genotyped and randomly assigned to 1 of the 4 reduced-calorie diets, DNA methylation was derived from stored blood...
