Common variation in the FTO gene alters diabetes-related metabolic traits to the extent expected given its effect on BMI.

Common variation in the FTO gene alters diabetes-related metabolic traits to the extent expected given its effect on BMI.

OBJECTIVE: Common variation in the FTO gene is associated with BMI and type 2 diabetes. Increased BMI is associated with diabetes risk factors, including raised insulin, glucose, and triglycerides. We aimed to test whether FTO genotype is associated with variation in these metabolic traits. RESEARCH...
