Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that the FK506 binding protein 51 (FKBP5/FKBP51), encoded by the FKBP5 gene, influences weight and metabolic regulation. The T allele of a functional polymorphism in FKBP5 (rs1360780), has been associated with the expression of FKBP51 and weight loss after bariatric surgery. OBJECTIVE: To examine the role of the FKBP5 rs1360780 polymorphism in relation to age, sex, and type...
