Obesity phenotype in relation to gene polymorphism among samples of Egyptian children and their mothers

18 Dec 2017

Abstract excerpt

Obesity is complex heterogeneous disease controlled by genes, environmental factors, and their interaction. Genetic factors account for 40-90% of the body mass index variations. Body mass index (BMI) of children correlates more closely with maternal than paternal BMI. So, this studu was aimed to investigate the role of leptin receptor LEPR Gln223Arg, the uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2 G 866 A) and insulin receptor...
