Moreover, CNVs contained candidate obesity genes including a 3.3 Mb deletion disrupting NAP1L5 (nucleosome assembly protein 1-like 5) as well as a 2.1 Mb deletion disrupting UCP1 (uncoupling protein 1) and IL15 (interleukin 15). Here, UCP1 is linked to obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
