Abstract
Low activity genetic variants of acid phosphatase (ACP1) are positively associated with extreme body mass deviations in obese subjects. The same pattern has been found in non-diabetic children, in diabetic pregnant women, and in non-diabetic adult subjects. Low activity variants of ACP1 also show a positive association with family history of obesity, supporting the hypothesis of an enhancing action of these variants on expressivity of obesity.Entities:
