During the past decades, β-actin (ACTB), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), 18S ribosomal RNA (18S), ribosomal protein large P0 (RPLP0), and TATA box-binding protein (TBP) have been used extensively as reference genes in physiological status and diseases including obesity (7–10). This evidence concerns the gene GAPDH and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
