The genetic mechanisms underlying human obesity

2013-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Obesity is becoming one the leading causes of mortality in the western world. Although environment is a factor in its development, it is highly heritable and despite a number of genes that have been found to be associated to the disease its genetics are still poorly understood. Discovery of genetic pathways that influence obesity risk can provide a better understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease and ide...
