Obesity: choosing genetic approaches from a mixed menu.

Human biology - 1 Dec 1993

Ferrell R E

Abstract excerpt

Obesity, as defined by any number of metrics, aggregates in families but does not segregate as a simple Mendelian trait. Because of the frequent association of obesity with a number of common chronic diseases, researchers are greatly interested in identifying the genes that contribute to obesity...
