Abstract excerpt

The role of the obese gene in human obesity is presently unclear. Evidence for linkage of markers flanking the gene to obesity has been found in some but not all studies. We investigated transmission disequilibrium between two highly polymorphic microsatellite markers (D7S504 and D7S1875) flankin...
