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.

About LMX1B

This gene encodes a member of LIM-homeodomain family of proteins containing two N-terminal zinc-binding LIM domains, 1 homeodomain, and a C-terminal glutamine-rich domain. It functions as a transcription factor, and is essential for the normal development of dorsal limb structures, the glomerular basement membrane, the anterior segment of the eye, and dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons. Mutations in this gene are associated with nail-patella syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
