Genetic variation of FTO: rs1421085 T&gt;C, rs8057044 G&gt;A, rs9939609 T&gt;A, and copy number (CNV) in Mexican Mayan school‐aged children with obesity/overweight and with normal weight
ReviewLizbeth González‐Herrera et al.(2019)· American Journal of Human Biology

A literature review of 70 studies examining single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with obesity in Mexican populations published 2011-2021. The authors identified SNPs with differential behavior in Mexican compared to Caucasian populations, including rs17782313 (MC4R), rs6548238 (TMEM18), rs6265 (BDNF), rs7498665 (SH2B1), and notably rs6232 (PCSK1) associated with early-onset obesity in Mexican youth. The review emphasizes ethnicity-dependent genetic effects on BMI heritability (40-70%) and highlights genes involved in cholesterol metabolism and adipokine signaling pathways.

Obesity-susceptibility loci and the tails of the pediatric BMI distribution
AssociationN=7,225Jonathan A. Mitchell et al.(2013)· Obesity

This study examined 8 adult obesity-susceptibility loci in 7,225 children aged 2-18 years using quantile regression to assess whether genetic effects on BMI are uniform across the BMI distribution. The authors found that obesity risk alleles (FTO rs3751812, MC4R rs12970134, TMEM18 rs2867125, BDNF rs6265, SEC16B rs10913469, GNPDA2 rs13130484, NRXN3 rs10146997, and TNNI3K rs1514175) were more strongly associated with BMI increases at the upper tail of the distribution (85th-95th percentiles, β=0.06-0.11, p<10^-6) compared to the lower tail, suggesting that standard linear regression approaches may underestimate genetic effects on childhood obesity.
