Is there a link between DNA and Obesity?
... Every gene is interrupted by a DNA strand known as an intron. Researchers discovered a “genetic switch” with in the FTO gene’s intron. If a human has the high obesity-risk variant gene, it affects the introns. The introns, when affected by this FTO gene variant, doubles the activity of two other gen ...
