Analysis of the c.46-43098T>C (rs1421085) variant of the FTO gene-diagnosis of obesity susceptibility
Clinical relevance
Obesity is a major risk factor for many diseasesób, including diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The fat mass and obesity assotiated gene (FTO), along with the leptin gene, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptorów type ? gene, the endocannabinoid receptor gene and the ß3 adrenergic receptor gene, is thought to be responsible for body fat mass and distribution. The test involves analyzing the c.46-43098T>C variant (rs1421085) to diagnose obesity susceptibility.
