Involvement of an FTO gene polymorphism in the temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis. [PDF]
The FTO gene has been reported as an obesity-associated gene and is also considered a risk gene for osteoarthritis (OA). However, its exact function is unclear, and there is conflicting evidence on the involvement of FTO polymorphisms in OA via obesity ...

Changes in gene expression associated with FTO overexpression in mice.
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the first intron of the fat-mass-and-obesity-related gene FTO are associated with increased body weight and adiposity. Increased expression of FTO is likely underlying this obesity phenotype, as mice with two additional

Interactions of anthropometric indices, rs9939609 FTO gene polymorphism and breast cancer: A case-control study. [PDF]
Contradictory results were reported on the effect of fat mass‐ and obesity‐associated (FTO) gene and anthropometric measurements on breast cancer (BC). This study aimed to assess the interactions between rs9939609 polymorphism of FTO gene, anthropometric

Interactions between macro-nutrients’ intake, FTO and IRX3 gene expression, and FTO genotype in obese and overweight male adolescents [PDF]
This study is the first to identify the effects of FTO genotype on the interactions between the level of macro-nutrients intake and the expression level of fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) and homeobox transcription factor iriquois-3 (IRX3) genes ...

Fat Mass and Obesity-Related (FTO) Gene Variant Is a Predictor of CVD in T2DM Patients [PDF]
Conclusion: The FTO gene variant rs9939609 has a strong association with T2DM and CVD. The AA genotype of FTO gene variants rs9939609 showed a strong association with most of the risk factors of CVD and T2DM.

The bigger picture of FTO—the first GWAS-identified obesity gene [PDF]
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that cluster in the first intron of fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene are associated obesity traits in genome-wide association studies. The minor allele increases BMI by 0.39 kg/m(2) (or 1,130 g in body weight) and risk of obesity by 1.20-fold.
