Functional coupling analysis suggests link between the obesity gene FTO and the BDNF-NTRK2 signaling pathway
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The Fat mass and obesity gene (FTO) has been identified through genome wide association studies as an important genetic factor contributing to a higher body mass index (BMI). However, the molecular context in which this effect is med...
