SNP information rs1558902

RS1558902

Normal allele: TT

Variants in the FTO gene are associated with increased body mass index, obesity and diabetes. A high-protein diet was more beneficial for people with risk allele A. These findings suggest significant genetic heterogeneity in weight loss in response to dietary interventions.

Polymorphism rs1558902 is related to topics like this:

Obesity genes

Although physical inactivity and consuming energy-dense foods are commonly identified as the main...

Genetic protein diet

Incorporating protein into your diet can aid in weight loss, and maintaining a high protein diet...
