FTO gene SNPs associated with extreme obesity in cases, controls and extremely discordant sister pairs

FTO is a gene located in chromosome region 16q12.2. Recently two studies have found associations of several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in FTO with body mass index (BMI) and obesity, particularly rs1421085, rs17817449, and rs9939609. We examined these three SNPs in 583 extremely obese wom...
