Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic expression of the Trp64Arg mutation in the beta 3-adrenoceptor gene (beta 3-AR) has been found to be somewhat variable among different populations, suggesting that it may be influenced by genetic background and environmental factors. As sex may also influence gene allellic expression, we evaluated a potential gender effect of the Trp64Arg mutation in 292 morbidly obese subjects [body mass index (BMI) >...
