ESR1 and FTO genetic variants: impact on body weight reduction following bariatric surgery

Abstract
Background Variation in reduction of body weight after bariatric surgery has been observed. Genetics may have a role in the varying outcomes among obese patients. Aim of this research work was to examine the effect of genetic variants within the Fat Mass and Obesity-Related gene (FTO) (rs9939609) and Estrogen Receptor Alpha gene (ESR1) (rs712221) on body weight reduction and blood glucose control ...
