The Association of FTO SNP rs9939609 with Weight Gain at University. [PDF]

Obesity facts, 2015
AIM: We tested the hypothesis that the obesity-associated FTO SNP rs9939609 would be associated with clinically significant weight gain (>/= 5% of initial body weight) in the first year of university; a time identified as high risk for weight gain. METHODS: We collected anthropometric data from university students (n = 1,411, mean age: 22.4 +/- 2.5 ...

Fat phenotype, associated factors and rs9939609 polymorphism of the FTO gene

Revista Brasileira de Cineantropometria e Desempenho Humano, 2010
The purpose of this work was to review the main results of studies that have analysed the relationship between the rs9939609 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the FTO gene and the manifestation of overweight/obesity with its associated co-morbidity,

Association of FTO gene variant rs9939609 with hyperandrogenemia and fasting glucose levels in South Indian women with polycystic ovarian syndrome

Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2022
Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine–metabolic disorder due to genetic and environmental factors. Genetic variants located in intron 1 of Fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene are associated with increased risk of ...

Inverse association between obesity predisposing FTO genotype and completed suicide. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The A allele of rs9939609 in the FTO gene predisposes to increased body mass index (BMI) and obesity. Recently we showed an inverse association between the obesity related A allele of rs9939609 and alcohol dependence which was replicated by others. Since

EFFECT OF FTO rs9939609 POLIMORPHISM ON OBESITY IN TURKISH POPULATION

HEALTH SCIENCES QUARTERLY, 2020
Obesity is a disease that is affected by environmental conditions as well as genetic predisposition. This is a case-control study that aimed to investigate the relationship between FTO rs9939609 polymorphism and obesity. The relation between the rs9939609 polymorphism and obesity in 80 ower-weight (BMI≥30) and 131 under/normal weight (BMI<30 ...

Common Variant ofFTOGene, rs9939609, and Obesity in Pakistani Females [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2013
Numerous studies confirmed the association ofFTO(fat mass and obesity associated gene) common variant, rs9939609, with obesity in European populations. However, studies in Asian populations revealed conflicting results. We examined the association of rs9939609 variant ofFTOgene with obesity and obesity-related anthropometric and metabolic parameters in

FTO rs9939609 influence on adipose tissue localization in the Italian population.

European review for medical and pharmacological sciences, 2020
Among the genes involved in obesity, the Fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) is certainly one of the most known and the relation between FTO rs9939609 and BMI is highly discussed; nevertheless, data about its influence on body composition are limited.We carried out a study on a sample of 1066 Italian subjects, whose body composition and FTO ...

The obesity-associated polymorphisms FTO rs9939609 and MC4R rs17782313 and endometrial cancer risk in non-Hispanic white women. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Overweight and obesity are strongly associated with endometrial cancer. Several independent genome-wide association studies recently identified two common polymorphisms, FTO rs9939609 and MC4R rs17782313, that are linked to increased body weight and ...

Association between the FTO SNP rs9939609 and Metabolic Syndrome in Chilean Children

Nutrients, 2021
Background: The increasing prevalence of obesity in children has raised the incidence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in this age group. Given the short- and long-term health impact of MetS, it is essential to prevent its onset by detecting its main triggers.
