Article Synopsis
- Recent studies indicate that the FTO gene influences body weight by affecting the expression of the IRX3 gene, which is linked to obesity.
- The review analyzed various articles from 2000 to 2019, focusing on factors like polymorphism, BMI, and the IRX3 gene across multiple scientific databases.
- Findings suggest mixed results regarding IRX3's role in obesity, with some research showing that increased expression correlates with higher body weight while others indicate the opposite; more research is needed to clarify these relationships.
