Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The Fat Mass and Obesity-Associated (FTO) gene encodes a demethylase, which modulates RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and plays a regulatory role in adipocyte differentiation and the pathogenesis of human obesity. METHODS: To understand the potential role of FTO in osteoporosis (OP), we investigated five single nucleotide variations (SNVs) in intron 1 (rs8057044, rs8050136, rs9939609, rs62033406, and...
