Eine globale Studie umfasste 850.000 Erwachsene aus sechs Kontinenten und identifizierte 13 Gene, die mit Fettleibigkeit in Zusammenhang stehen. Mehrere dieser Gene tragen auch zu anderen mit Fettleibigkeit verbundenen Erkrankungen wie Typ-2-Diabetes, Bluthochdruck und Herzerkrankungen bei.

>They found 13 genes with statistically significant association to BMI in the European group that were replicated in the non-Europeans.
>
>Of these, eight had been previously associated with obesity, including MC4R and BSN. Five genes – YLPM1, RIF1, GIGYF1, SLC5A3 and GRM7 – had not been associated with obesity in previous studies.
>
>The researchers found that these novel genes had about a three-fold increase in risk of severe obesity, a level of impact similar to MC4R and BSN.
>
>Like genes previously associated with obesity, the newly identified genes are found in the brain and adipose tissue, known as fat, and were linked to obesity traits such as increased body fat percentage.
>
>The researchers also found that several of these genes contribute to other obesity-related conditions, including Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and heart disease.
