This study performed fine mapping of the obesity-associated region chr16p11.2 by screening the coding regions of APOBR, SULT1A1, SULT1A2, and TUFM genes in 95 extremely obese children and adolescents. Two APOBR variants, rs180743 (p.Pro428Ala) and rs3833080 (p.Gly369_Asp370del9), showed significant association with obesity (p=0.002 and p=0.003 respectively) in case-control analysis of 1,873 obese cases versus 435 lean controls, with odds ratios of 1.27 and 1.25 per allele.

About SULT1A2

Sulfotransferase enzymes catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and xenobiotic compounds. These cytosolic enzymes are different in their tissue distributions and substrate specificities. The gene structure (number and length of exons) is similar among family members. This gene encodes one of two phenol sulfotransferases with thermostable enzyme activity. Two alternatively spliced variants that encode the same protein have been described.
