Exploring the Association Between DTC Obesity-Related Gene Polymorphisms and Obesity Risk Factors in Koreans: Focus on BDNF.

Nutrients - 16 Feb 2026

Kim Jiha, Lee Soyoun, Lee Myoungsook

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Among more than 300 candidate genes for obesity, FTO, MC4R, and BDNF have been approved for DTC genetic testing. However, population-specific evidence supporting their relevance to obesity-related phenotypes in Koreans remains limited. METHODS: A total of 231 healthy adults aged 19-64 years were recruited between March and May 2024. Anthropometric and clinical measurements, genotyping,...
