<h4>Background</h4>Little is known about the correlation between the melanocortin 4 receptor gene (MC4R) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the risk of obesity. This research sought to test the MC4R rs17782313, rs476828 and rs12970134 SNPs, their haplotypes and gene-environment interactions on the risk of obesity in the Maonan ethnic group, an isolated minority in China.<h4>Methods</h4>A case-control study comprised of 1836 participants (obesity group, 858; and control group, 978) was co ...[more]
