A Mouse Model for the Metabolic Effects of the Human Fat Mass and Obesity Associated FTO Gene

Human FTO gene variants are associated with body mass index and type 2 diabetes. Because the obesity-associated SNPs are intronic, it is unclear whether changes in FTO expression or splicing are the cause of obesity or if regulatory elements within intron 1 influence upstream or downstream genes.
