Microsatellite marker content mapping of 12 candidate genes for obesity: assembly of seven obesity screening panels for automated genotyping.

Abstract excerpt

Twin studies, adoption studies, and studies of familial aggregation indicate that obesity has a genetic component. Whereas, the genetic factors predisposing to obesity have been elucidated for several rare syndromes, the factors responsible for obesity in the general population have remained elusive. Genetic studies of complex traits are often accelerated by the use of candidate genes. To facilitate genetic...
