Genetic factors could contribute to up to 50%–75% of the variance in body mass index, or BMI, in the population.

By analyzing the genome of more than 800,000 people of European descent, a research team from Université Laval and the Quebec Heart and Lung Institute Research Center has identified 60 unique proteins expressed in the brain that may be critical regulators of body weight.

This study explored the link between genetic regions associated with body weight and the proteins expressed in the brain. "Previous study showed that hundreds of genetic regions influence body weight. In most cases, the function of these genes remains unknown. Our study reports that about 60 of these genes encode proteins that could influence body weight via their expression in the brain," says Éloi Gagnon, a doctoral student in clinical and biomedical sciences at the Université Laval Faculty of Medicine and first author of the study published in iScience.

Science is starting to match reality!

He may get away with that name when in the public eye but we know him as our Gypsy King, Morti .
