OB gene not linked to human obesity in Mexican American affected sib pairs from Starr County, Texas.

Human genetics - 1 Nov 1996

Bray M S, Boerwinkle E, Hanis C L

Abstract excerpt

Obesity is a highly prevalent disease, which is associated with a number of chronic conditions and, as such, represents a major public health burden. Numerous studies indicate that there is a genetic component contributing to interindividual variability in obesity. The discovery of the ob gene in...
