Genes linked to obesity
The following genes are possibly linked to obesity.
Alox5ap
C3ar1
Lactb
Lpl
pparg
Ppm1l
Tgrbr2
Zfp90
I might expanse on these later
Genetic code near a gene called MC4R, whose carrying a certain variant of this stretch of DNA are more likely to be almost 2 kg heavier.
MC4R has been linked to cases of childhood obesity.
MC3R mutations A293T.I335S and X361S are possibly connected with obesity.
This genetic code is more common in those of Indian Asian descent.
FTO variants have been linked to obesity.
Genes close to the following loci
bdnf
gnpda2
kctd15
negr1
sk2b1
tmem18
