Childhood Obesity at Gene Level

Obesity tracks in families, and one of the strongest predictors of child overweight is the BMI of the mother and father. In recent years, progress was made in identifying genes that may contribute to this effect. The FTO (fat mass and obesity-associated) gene is a large gene on chromosome 16. The absolute risk generated by the FTO gene is relatively modest, is found in Caucasian populations, and is modifiable by environmental factors.
