Association between a rare SNP in the second intron of human Agouti related protein gene and increased BMI

BACKGROUND: The agouti related protein (AGRP) is an endogenous antagonist of the melanocortin 4 receptor and is one of the most potent orexigenic factors. The aim of the present study was to assess the genetic variability of AGRP gene and investigate whether the previously reported SNP rs5030980 and...
