Nat Metab. 2021 Feb;3(2):228243. doi: 10.1038/s42255-021-00346-2. PMID: 33619380.In brief: In this genome-wide association study, the authors were able to disentangle the mechanism that uncouples adiposity from its known cardiometabolic complications. They identified 62 genomic loci, at which the same allele is associated with both higher adiposity and lower cardiometabol...

To read the full abstract: Nature Medicine 2019; 25(3):507-516.This paper shows that quantitative leptin expression is controlled by redundant cis elements and trans factors that interact with the proximal promoter together with a long noncoding RNA.Friedmans research group discovered the adipocyte hormone leptin more than 20 years ago. They identified loss o...
