| Abstract | ||||
| Introduction: Variations in fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene increased the risk of obesity in many European populations but with inconclusive results in other populations. There are no previous reports about polymorphism of FTO gene and its association with obesity in Egyptian Arab population. Aim of the study: this study was designed to investigate the allele frequency and genotype distribution of FTO gene rs9939609 and its association with obesity and insulin resistance (IR). | ||||
