Polymorphism in the 3' untranslated region of MTG8 is associated with obesity in Pima Indian males.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications - 29 May 1998

Wolford J K, Bogardus C, Prochazka M

Abstract excerpt

Obesity has a genetic component and predisposes for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. One approach to identifying new candidate genes for obesity is to explore potential regulatory factors expressed in fat tissue that may play a role in adipocyte development or metabolic control. Because we found relatively abundant mRNA levels of the putative transcription factor MTG8 in human adipose tissue, a...
