Common genetic variation near MC4R has a sex-specific impact on human brain structure and eating behavior.
Obesity is associated with genetic and environmental factors but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified obesity- and type 2 diabetes-associated genetic variants located within or near genes that modulate brain activity and develop...
