NJ Timpson, PM Emmett, TM Frayling, I Rogers… - The American journal of …, 2008 - Elsevier
Background: A region of chromosome 16 containing the fat mass–and obesity-associated
gene (FTO) is reproducibly associated with fat mass and body mass index (BMI), risk of
obesity, and adiposity. Objectives: We aimed to assess the possibility that appetite plays a

from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children allowed the exploration of
relations between FTO variation and dietary intake. Analyses were performed to investigate …
