Beckers S, Zegers D, de Freitas F, Peeters A, Verhulst S, Massa G, et al.
Obes Facts . 2010 Oct; 3(5):304-11. PMID: 20975296
Objective: Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) deficiency is the most common cause of monogenic obesity. In the present study, we screened the MC4R gene for mutations in a population of overweight and...

Obesity (Silver Spring) . 2010 Jun; 19(1):152-9. PMID: 20539302
The melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R), a G-protein-coupled receptor expressed in the hypothalamus, is a key component of the leptin-melanocortin pathway that regulates energy homeostasis. It is suggested that an MC3R defect...

Ann Hum Genet . 2009 Jul; 73(Pt 5):492-501. PMID: 19573164
We performed an association study and mutation analysis of the adiponectin (APM1) gene to study its involvement in the development of obesity. We also studied the interaction with peroxisome proliferator-activated...

Peeters A, Beckers S, Verrijken A, Mertens I, Roevens P, Peeters P, et al.
Hum Genet . 2008 Sep; 124(4):431-6. PMID: 18820948
The sirtuin SIRT1 is an important regulator of energy metabolism through its impact on glucose and lipid metabolism and therefore we tested the hypothesis that genetic variation in SIRT1 may...

Beckers S, Peeters A, de Freitas F, Mertens I, Hendrickx J, Van Gaal L, et al.
Obesity (Silver Spring) . 2008 Feb; 16(4):905-7. PMID: 18239575
Resistin is thought to be involved in the development of obesity and insulin resistance. Polymorphisms in the gene encoding resistin could contribute to this link, but different studies have yielded...
