Multiple genetic variations confer risks for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus in arab descendants from UAE.

International journal of obesity (2005) - 1 Jul 2018

Osman Wael, Tay Guan K, Alsafar Habiba

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the countries most threatened with obesity. Here we investigated associations between hundreds of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the following obesity indicators: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and height. We also investigated the associations between obesity-related genes with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: We tested...
