Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic and environmental factors play a crucial role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. This study aimed to investigate the association of the fat-mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) rs9939609 variant with T2DM and body mass index (BMI) among Palestinian population. METHODS: A total of 399 subjects were recruited, of whom 281 were type 2 diabetic patients and 118...
