Adult onset global loss of the fto gene alters body composition and metabolism in the mouse.

Adult onset global loss of the fto gene alters body composition and metabolism in the mouse.

The strongest BMI-associated GWAS locus in humans is the FTO gene. Rodent studies demonstrate a role for FTO in energy homeostasis and body composition. The phenotypes observed in loss of expression studies are complex with perinatal lethality, stunted growth from weaning, and significant alteration...
