This paper presents the 12th update of the human obesity gene map, which incorporates
published results up to the end of October 2005. Evidence from single‐gene mutation …

The role of genetics in obesity is twofold. Studying rare mutations in humans and model
organisms provides fundamental insight into a complex physiological process, and …

A mitochondrial protein called uncoupling protein (UCP1) plays an important role in
