Abstract excerpt
We hypothesized that genomic variation affecting the primary amino acid sequence of the intestinal fatty acid-binding protein would be related to variation in body mass index and associated clinical phenotypes in aboriginal Canadians. We studied 507 adult native Canadians from an isolated community in Northern Ontario. We found that the frequency of the T54 variant of the intestinal fatty acid-binding protein...
