Strategies for the molecular genetic analysis of obesity in humans.

Abstract excerpt

Studies of twins, adopted children, and some human populations indicate that body composition is significantly influenced by genetic factors. However, in no specific instance in either man or animals is the precise etiology of obesity known at the molecular level. Attempts to identify the molecular basis of obesity in humans have been hampered by difficulties in measuring food intake and energy expenditure with...
