Obesity related phenotypes in families selected for extreme obesity and leanness.

International journal of obesity and related metabolic disorders : journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity - 1 May 1998

Price R A, Reed D R, Lee J H

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Obesity is a multigenic trait, and special methods and sampling designs are needed for gene identification. OBJECTIVE: To describe characteristics of families selected to increase information for genetic linkage studies of obesity. DESIGN: Families having extremely obese siblings with a lean parent and sibling. SUBJECTS: 594 members of 94 Caucasian families. MEASUREMENTS: Measured height and weight,...
