The missense variation landscape of FTO, MC4R and TMEM18 in obese children of African ancestry

Common variation at the loci harboring FTO, MC4R and TMEM18 is consistently reported as being statistically the most strongly associated with obesity. We investigated if these loci also harbor rarer missense variants that confer substantially higher risk of common childhood obesity in African Americ...
