The design of these studies differs from ours, as Deram et al. [19] analyzed the effect of PLIN gene variation on weight loss in children with obesity aged 7–14 year, while the study of Tokgöz analyzed their association with obesity in a case-control study including 206 children with obesity and 102 healthy controls [20], which complicates efforts to compare our findings, as we analyzed a general child population and the analysis is not performed in overweight/obese children. Here, PLIN1 is linked to obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
