Difference between FTO gene and Obesity

FTO gene vs. Obesity

Fat mass and obesity-associated protein also known as alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase FTO is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FTO gene located on chromosome 16. Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health.
