Investigation of Associations between Obesity and<i>LEP</i>G2548A and<i>LEPR</i>668A/G Polymorphisms in a Turkish Population

Abstract

Our findings indicate that the LEP G2548A polymorphism is not a relevant obesity marker and that the LEPR 668A/G polymorphism may be related to obesity in a Turkish population. Further researches with larger patient population are necessary to ascertain the implications of LEP and LEPR polymorphisms in obesity.
