Abstract excerpt

Background: The Kuwaiti and Qatari populations have a high prevalence of obesity, a major risk factor for various metabolic disorders. Previous studies have independently explored mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations and their association with obesity in these populations. This study aims to investigate the role of mtDNA haplogroups and variants in obesity risk among these Gulf populations. Methods: Whole exome...
