In humans, common variants in the fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene are
associated with body mass index and obesity. Here we sequenced exon 4, parts of introns 3 …

We recently showed that a polymorphism in the fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene
(AM931150: g. 276T> G) is associated with fat deposition traits in pigs. To confirm this result …

Background Independent studies have shown that several single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNP) in the human FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene are associated with …

The association of the FTO gene with obesity has been implicated in various human
populations. The FTO gene is also most likely involved in the regulation of energy balance …

Combining different approaches (resequencing of portions of 54 obesity candidate genes,
literature mining for pig markers associated with fat deposition or related traits in 77 genes …

Fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene is an excellent candidate to affect the fatness
and growth-related traits in pig and cattle. The aim of this study was to reveal the association …

Objectives: To investigate possible obesity candidate genes in regions of porcine
quantitative trait loci (QTL) for fat deposition and obesity‐related phenotypes. Research …

Fatness traits are important in pig production since they influence meat quality and fattening
efficiency. On the other hand, excessive fat accumulation in humans has become a serious …

Fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) plays an important role in appetite control and
energy consumption in human and mice. In order to examine FTO expression influence on …

Obesity is an increasing problem worldwide and research on candidate genes in good
animal models is highly needed. The pig is an excellent model as its metabolism, organ …
