Gene expression study reveals new molecular associations with obesity

Medical Xpress

New research from the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) at the University of Colorado School of Medicine has identified 45 genes whose gene expression is associated with body mass index (BMI), many of which have not been previously explored in obesity research, after the researchers conducted a study using a multiethnic cohort.
