Variations in Peptide YY and Y2 Receptor Genes Are Associated With Severe Obesity in Pima Indian Men

Peptide YY (PYY) and Y2 receptor (Y2R) may be important in the central regulation of body weight and food intake. To determine whether genetic variation in PYY and/or Y2R may contribute to morbid obesity in humans, these genes were sequenced in 83 extremely obese Pima Indians (BMI ≥50 kg/m(2)). Sequ...
