Sequence variants in the melatonin-related receptor gene (GPR50) associate with circulating triglyceride and HDL levels

The gene encoding the melatonin-related receptor (GPR50) is highly expressed within hypothalamic nuclei concerned with the control of body weight and metabolism. We screened GPR50 for mutations in an obese cohort and identified an insertion of four amino acid residues (TTGH) at position 501, two com...
