Minor alleles of FTO rs9939609 and rs17817449 polymorphisms confer a higher risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia, but not coronary artery disease in a Chinese Han population

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
BackgroundRelationships of the polymorphisms in fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta gene (PPARD) with metabolic-related diseases remain to be clarified.MethodsOne thousand three hundred and ...

A Systematic Mapping Approach of 16q12.2/FTO and BMI in More Than 20,000 African Americans Narrows in on the Underlying Functional Variation: Results from the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Genetic variants in intron 1 of the fat mass- and obesity-associated (FTO) gene have been consistently associated with body mass index (BMI) in Europeans.

Coevolution of Human Diet and Gut Microbiome: Implications for Nutrigenomics and Cross‐Population Health

open access: yesInternational Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The coevolution of the human diet and gut microbiome has played a pivotal role in shaping metabolic, immune, and epigenetic functions across human history. Dietary transitions from high‐fiber ancestral patterns to modern ultraprocessed diets have markedly influenced microbial diversity and functionality, contributing to the emergence of chronic ...

The FTO rs9939609 polymorphism is associated with short leukocyte telomere length in nonobese individuals

open access: yesMedicine, 2017
The fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) rs9939609 polymorphism have been associated with the increased metabolic risk and mortality, irrespective of obesity. The mechanism underlying this association is not known. We aimed to evaluate whether the FTO rs9939609 risk variant is independently associated with metabolic risk factors and/or leukocyte ...

Physical activity attenuates the influence of FTO variants on obesity risk: A meta-analysis of 218,166 adults and 19,268 children [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: The FTO gene harbors the strongest known susceptibility locus for obesity. While many individual studies have suggested that physical activity (PA) may attenuate the effect of FTO on obesity risk, other studies have not been able to confirm ...

The Genetic Blueprint of Obesity: From Pathogenesis to Novel Therapies

open access: yesObesity Reviews, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by disturbances in energy homeostasis, leading to excessive fat accumulation. The pathogenesis of the disease is shaped by a complex interplay of genetic, epigenetic, biological, psychological, and environmental factors.

Genetic Predictors of Weight Loss and Weight Regain After Intensive Lifestyle Modification, Metformin Treatment, or Standard Care in the Diabetes Prevention Program [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
OBJECTIVE: We tested genetic associations with weight loss and weight regain in the Diabetes Prevention Program, a randomized controlled trial of weight loss–inducing interventions (lifestyle and metformin) versus placebo.

Role of FTO in adipocyte development and function: recent insights [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In 2007, FTO was identified as the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) gene associated with obesity in humans. Since then, various animal models have served to establish the mechanistic basis behind this association.

Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveals Causal Relationships and Potential Mediators Between Dietary Preferences and Risk of NAFLD

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
This study combines Mendelian randomization, co‐localization, and clinical cross‐sectional analyses to reveal that preferences for fruit juice and soft cheese have opposite causal effects on NAFLD risk, mediated by the FTO gene. Moreover, low‐calorie dietary preferences reduce NAFLD risk through up‐regulation of inflammatory protein DNER.
