BMI-associated gene variants in FTO and cardiometabolic and brain disease: obesity or pleiotropy?
Abstract
Obesity is a causal risk factor for the development of age-related disease conditions, which includes Type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and dementia. In genome-wide association studies, genetic variation in FTO is strongly associated with obesity and has been described across different ethnic backgrounds and life stages. To date, much work has been devoted on determining the biological mechanisms via which FTO affects body weight...
