Abstract excerpt
The Bardet-Biedl Syndrome 7 (Bbs7) gene was identified as the most likely candidate gene causing juvenile obesity in the Berlin Fat Mouse Inbred (BFMI) line. Bbs7 expression is significantly lower in the brain, adipose tissue, and liver of BFMI mice compared to lean C57BL/6NCrl (B6N) mice. A DNA sequence comparison between BFMI and B6N revealed 16 sequence variants in the Bbs7 promoter region. Here, we tested if...
