Transcription profiling of mouse model for the metabolic effects of the human fat mass and obesity associated fto gene


ABSTRACT: RNA was purified from liver, skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue of mice with and without a point mutation in exon 6 of the FTO gene.

Human FTO gene variants are associated with body mass index and type 2 diabetes. Because the obesity-associated SNPs are intronic, it is unclear whether changes in FTO expression or splicing are the cause of obesity or if regulatory elements within intron 1 influence upstream or downstream genes. We tested the idea that FTO itself is involved in obesity. We show that a dominant point mutation in the mouse Fto gene results in reduced fat mass, increased energy expenditure, and unchanged physical  ...[more]
