Genetic polymorphisms in the hypothalamic pathway in relation to subsequent weight change--the DiOGenes study.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding the components involved in the hypothalamic pathway may influence weight gain and dietary factors may modify their effects.We conducted a case-cohort study to investigate the associations of SNPs in candidate genes with weight change during an...
