Abstract excerpt

AIM: Obesity is a significant health issue worldwide, progressing due to genetic factors and lifestyle. Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) gene polymorphisms have been identified as a cause of overweight and obesity risk. The aim of this study was a comprehensive assessment of MC4R polymorphism effects on overweight/obesity risk. METHODS: All retrieved literature from PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus according to...
