Identification of genetic basis of obesity and mechanistic link of genes and lipids in Pakistani population.

Bioscience reports - 31 Aug 2018

Shabana, Shahid Saleem Ullah, Hasnain Shahida

Abstract excerpt

We aimed to identify the genetic causes of common forms of obesity in the Pakistani people and find out the mechanistic link by observing the relationship of genes and serum lipid traits. Four hundred and seventy-five subjects were genotyped for two mutations in (leptin:N103K and proopiomelanocortin:R236G) and ten common variants in different genes. Serum lipids were also measured. The prevalence of mutations was...
