In this study, FTO rs9939609 genotyping of 200 Turkish individuals was performed, and it was detected that 38 (19.0%) of them had the homozygous genotype (AA genotype) for the obesity risk allele, 85 (42.5%) of them had the heterozygous genotype (AT genotype), and 77 (38.5%) of them had the wild-type genotype (TT genotype), and these frequencies were found to be close to the frequencies reported previously in European and Turkish population. Here, FTO is linked to obesity disorder.
