The SNPs of ABCA-1 (LDL-C and ApoA1/ApoB); LIPC (TC, LDL-C, ApoA1 and ApoB); LIPG (ApoB); MTHFR (TC, TG and LDL-C); MYLIP (TC and TG); PCSK9 (TG, HDL-C, ApoB and ApoA1/ApoB); PPARD (TG and ApoA1/ApoB); and SCARB1 (TG, ApoA1 and ApoB) were shown interactions with overweight/obesity to influence serum lipid levels (P < 0.05-0.001). The gene discussed is MYLIP; the disease is obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
