The correlation between FASN expression and the different parameters that are associated with diabetes and obesity have shown the following results: there is a positive correlation of FASN expression with levels of adiponectin (P < 0.05; r = 0.265; Figure 1a) and HDL-c (P < 0.05; r = 0.276). The gene discussed is FASN; the disease is obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
