The role of epigenetics in the development of obesity.

Biochemical pharmacology - 1 Jul 2020

Obri Arnaud, Serra Dolors, Herrero Laura, Mera Paula

Abstract excerpt

The epidemic of obesity has become pandemic, putting a significant burden on the world's healthcare system. While the heritability of the disease is high, all the identified genetic variants associated to obesity account for a very small percentage of phenotypic variation. The origins of the obesity pandemic cannot be explained exclusively due to genetic factors. In recent years, epigenetic studies have offered...
