MC4R and obesity disorder: While several studies have reported statistically significant associations between the MC4R rs17782313 and BMI or obesity [2], [24], [25], [51], there are also studies that did not find a significant association [9], [52] or found stronger associations with weight than BMI [11] and even studies that have reported an association with higher height [9], [53], [54] and that this association may mask the effects on BMI despite being associated with higher weight.
