obesity phenotype in many Caucasian populations. This association with the obesity phenotype
is not clear in the Japanese. To investigate the relationship between the FTO gene and ... Cited by 29 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 7 versions
JR Speakman, KA Rance, AM Johnstone - Obesity, 2008 - abdn.ac.uk The FTO gene has significant polymorphic variation associated with obesity, but its function is
unknown. We screened a population of 150 whites (103F/47M) resident in NE Scotland, United
Kingdom, for variants of the FTO gene and linked these to phenotypic variation in their ... Cited by 22 - Related articles - View as HTML - All 4 versions
RJ Loos, C Bouchard - Obesity Reviews, 2008 - interscience.wiley.com Genome-wide association, the latest gene-finding strategy, has led to the first major success
in the field of obesity genetics with the discovery of FTO (fat mass and obesity associated
gene) as an obesity–susceptibility gene. A cluster of variants in the first intron of FTO ... Cited by 25 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 4 versions
