The interaction between dietary patterns and melanocortin-4 receptor polymorphisms in relation to obesity phenotypes

Data shows that interactions between dietary factors and genetic variants can modulate the association of polymorphisms such as the Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) gene with obesity. Considering the limited data available on this topic we aimed to investigate interactions between dietary patterns (DPs) and MC4R polymorphisms in relation to obesity phenotypes. This cohort study was performed in the framework of Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study; for...
