In a large sample of 5109 French Caucasian participants, Durand et al. (2008) failed to find an association between 10 FAAH SNPs and childhood obesity or Type-II diabetes mellitus, but did find a nominal association between 5 FAAH SNPs (rs6429600, rs324419, rs324418, rs2295633, and rs7520850) and Class III adult obesity [53]. This evidence concerns the gene FAAH and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
