Abstract Background Although the Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R) gene rs17782313 C/T
has been consistently related to obesity risk, the interaction between MC4R polymorphism …

Background and aim The association with obesity of a common variant near the
melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) gene (rs17782313) has been indicated in various studies …

Background. The association of genetic and dietary factors with occurrence and progression
of chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome (MetS) has long been addressed but there …

Background Previous studies have shown that the C allele of melanocortin 4 receptor
(MC4R) rs17782313 and the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) are separately …

Introduction Data shows that interactions between dietary factors and genetic variants can
modulate the association of polymorphisms such as the Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) …

Background Previous studies have shown that the minor allele (C allele) for melanocortin 4
receptor (MC4R) rs17782313, may be associated with incidence of obesity and the risk of …

Purpose The interactions between lifestyle and genetic factors play an important role in
obesity development. Mutations in melanocortin-4-receptor (MC4R) gene are one of the …

Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in women globally.
Recent studies have reported that the minor allele (C allele) for melanocortin 4 receptor …

Background Genome-wide association studies have shown that polymorphism of the
melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) gene is associated with obesity. The aim of the study is the …

Context The melanocortin-4 receptor gene (MC4R) is associated with a higher risk of obesity
by the presence of the C allele in rs17782313, but the mechanisms are not clear. Objective …
