BACKGROUND Obesity may have a role in the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Single-nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) of the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene have been associated with obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate SNPs rs8050136, rs9939609, and rs1421085 of the FTO gene in women with GDM and their associations with maternal pre-pregnancy weight and b...
BACKGROUND There is evidence that physical activity (PA) can attenuate the influence of the fat mass- and obesity-associated (FTO) genotype on the risk to develop obesity. However, whether providing personalized information on FTO genotype leads to changes in PA is unknown. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine if disclosing FTO risk had an impact on change in PA following a 6-...
BACKGROUND Variants in the fat mass- and obesity-associated gene (FTO) predisposing to obesity and diabetes mellitus have also been associated with cardiovascular disease. Physical activity has been suggested to attenuate the FTO effect on obesity, but it is unknown whether this is also true for cardiovascular disease. Therefore, we explored whether physical activity modifies the FTO associatio...
OBJECTIVE Polymorphisms in intron 1 of the 'fat mass and obesity-associated' (FTO) gene are associated with weight status. We hypothesized that the risk allele at a polymorphism in intron 1 of FTO is associated with weight regain after end of lifestyle intervention. METHODS We longitudinally analyzed the changes of weight status as BMI-SDS in 346 unrelated overweight children (mean age 10.6 ±...
SNPs in the first intron of FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) are strongly associated with human obesity. While it is not yet formally established that this effect is mediated through the actions of the FTO protein itself, loss of function mutations in FTO or its murine homologue Fto result in severe growth retardation, and mice globally overexpressing FTO are obese. The mechanisms through ...

Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 921. 48 pp. Upssala. ISBN 978-91-554-8713-3. Obesity is a complex disorder which has reached epidemic proportions in many parts of the world. Twin studies hav...
BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies have identified variants within the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) locus as the strongest predictors of obesity amongst all obesity-associated gene loci. Recent evidence suggests that variants in FTO directly affect human adipocyte function through targeting IRX3 and IRX5 and thermogenesis regulation. AIM We addressed the relevance of this pro...
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore whether a common variant in the FTO gene moderates the relationship between parental restriction and child BMI. METHODS This study reports on baseline data from 178 parent-child (ages 9-10 years) dyads. Parents completed the Child Feeding Questionnaire and reported on socio-demographic characteristics. Each child's height, weight and FTO rs9939609 genotyp...
The mechanisms through which common polymorphisms in the fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) drive the development of obesity in humans are poorly understood. Using cross-sectional data from 985 older people (50% females) who participated at age 70 years in the Prospective Investigation of the Vasculature in Uppsala Seniors (PIVUS), circulating levels of ghrelin and leptin were measured ...
BACKGROUND/AIM Fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene polymorphisms have been linked to the risk of obesity and diabetes, two well-recognized risk factors for renal disease. Our aim was to determine whether a common FTO polymorphism was associated with a reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) independently of body mass index (BMI) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a cohort...
