For example, the adrenergic receptor beta-2 (ADRB2), adrenergic receptor beta-3 (ADRB3), guanine nucleotide-binding protein (GNB3), uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), and fat mass- and obesity-associated (FTO) genes are all reported to have associations with obesity. Here, ADRB3 is linked to obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
