A recent investigation has indicated that genes such as GPIHBP1 [123], FGFRL1 [124], DAPK2 [125], MAP 3K5 [126], ANKK1 [127], GK (glycerol kinase) [128], SPHK1 [129], GNG3 [130], FSTL3 [131], SLIT2 [132], CCDC80 [133], RND3 [134], PTGER4 [135], RUNX1 [136], ADAM12 [137], OLR1 [138], THBS1 [139], CD28 [140], TRPV4 [141], ATRN (attractin) [142], MRC1 [143], SEMA3C [144], HTR2B [145], NOX4 [146], TACR1 [147], BAMBI [148], PDGFD (platelet derived growth factor D) [149], APLN (apelin) [150], MFAP5 [151] and LUM (lumican) [152] are associated with a development of obesity. The gene discussed is THBS1; the disease is Obesity.
