A review of the metabolic syndrome
B Balkau, P Valensi, E Eschwčge, G Slama - Diabetes & metabolism, 2007 - Elsevier
While the concept of this syndrome has been described more than 60 years ago, and more
formally almost 20 years ago, the controversy continues as to its utility, which of the various …

Variation in FTO contributes to childhood obesity and severe adult obesity
We identified a set of SNPs in the first intron of the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated)
gene on chromosome 16q12. 2 that is consistently strongly associated with early-onset and …
