Loss of FTO antagonises Wnt signaling and leads to developmental defects associated with ciliopathies.

Loss of FTO antagonises Wnt signaling and leads to developmental defects associated with ciliopathies.

Common intronic variants in the Human fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) are found to be associated with an increased risk of obesity. Overexpression of FTO correlates with increased food intake and obesity, whilst loss-of-function results in lethality and severe developmental defects. Despi...
