Fat Mass and Obesity-Associated Gene (FTO) in Eating Disorders: Evidence for Association of the rs9939609 Obesity Risk Allele with Bulimia nervosa and Anorexia nervosa [PDF]
, 2012 Objective: The common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs9939609 in the fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) is associated with obesity. As genetic variants associated with weight regulation might also be implicated in the etiology of eating ...

FTO gene polymorphisms and hepatoblastoma susceptibility among Chinese children
Cell Cycle, 2022 Current knowledge on the etiology of hepatoblastoma remains limited. FTO gene has been documented as a susceptibility gene for several types of cancer. However, its role has not been characterized in hepatoblastoma. Herein, we intended to explore whether FTO gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) contribute to the risk of hepatoblastoma.
