The association between variant rs9939609 in the FTO gene with free leptin index and the risk of obesity in the Indonesian children population

Abstract Background Several studies have reported that fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO), especially the rs9939609 polymorphism, are associated with obesity and high leptin levels. The free leptin index (FLI) is known to be accurate in determining the function of leptin. The aim of this stu...
