Puntos clave

Los puntos clave no están disponibles para este artículo en este momento.

Resumen

This meta-analysis suggests that FTO may represent a low-penetrance susceptible gene for obesity risk. Individual studies with large sample size are needed to further evaluate the associations between the polymorphisms and obesity risk in various ethnic populations.
