Analysis of the contribution of <it>FTO</it>, <it>NPC1, ENPP1, NEGR1, GNPDA2</it> and <it>MC4R</it> genes to obesity in Mexican children

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Recent genome wide association studies (GWAS) and previous positional linkage studies have identified more than 50 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with obesity, mostly in Europeans. We aimed to assess the contributi...
