Gender-specific association of the rs6499640 polymorphism in the FTO gene with plasma lipid levels in Chinese children

Abstract The fat mass- and obesity-associated gene (FTO) is significantly associated with obesity, but the associations of FTO with obesity-related traits are not fully described. We aimed to investigate the association of the FTO single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs6499640 with lipid levels in C...
