Associations of the melanocortin 3 receptor C17A + G241A haplotype with body composition and inflammation in African‐American adults
Abstract
The MC3R haplotype C17A + G241A, which encodes a partially inactivated receptor, has high prevalence in individuals of predominately African ancestry. In pediatric cohorts, homozygosity for this common variant has been associated with obesity, reduced lean mass, and greater fasting insulin. However, metabolic and body composition measures have not been well studied in adults with this haplotype.A convenience sample of 237 healthy...
