A complete linkage disequilibrium in a haplotype of three SNPs in Fat Mass and Obesity associated (FTO) gene was strongly associated with anthropometric indices after controlling for calorie intake and physical activity.
Common variants in the obesity-associated genes FTO and MC4R are not associated with risk of colorectal cancer.
