Fat Mass and Obesity Associated (FTO) and Melanocortin 4 Receptor (MC4R) Gene Variants as Prognostic Markers of Obesity in Quetta City.
BACKGROUND Obesity is a complex condition caused by environmental and hereditary factors. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the FTO (rs9939609) and melanocortin-4-receptor (MC4R) (rs17782313) genes have been strongly linked to an increased risk of obesity. This study sought to determine the relationship between...
