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 association between FTO rs9939609 gene polymorphism and anthropometric indices in adults [PDF]

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2020
Abstract Background Fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) is the most studied obesity-related gene up to date. We aimed to assess anthropometric indices in carriers of FTO rs9939609 polymorphism with overweight across Iranian population (Shiraz) to find out the associations of this polymorphism with obesity indices.

Genetic variants and the metabolic syndrome: a systematic review [PDF]

, 2011
Several candidate gene studies on the metabolic syndrome (MetS) have been conducted. However, for most single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) no systematic review on their association with MetS exists.

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 ...

Common FTO rs9939609 variant and risk of type 2 diabetes in Palestine [PDF]

BMC Medical Genetics, 2018
Genetic and environmental factors play a crucial role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. This study aimed to investigate the association of the fat-mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) rs9939609 variant with T2DM and body mass index (BMI) among Palestinian population.A total of 399 subjects were recruited, of whom 281 ...

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.

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 ...
