Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Variations in the fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) has been associated with obesity in many populations, but the results are conflicting. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the rs9939609 polymorphism in the FTO gene on obesity risk and plasma leptin, adiponectin, insulin and lipid concentrations in Tunisians. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four hundred and ninety-four...
