Using a list of candidate genes previously used to annotate risk genes expressed in the mouse brain [49], we show predominant expression of candidate genes for obesity in hypothalamus (Asb4, Calcr, Cbln1, Pomc, Sim1), hippocampus (Bdnf, Grp), striatum (Cep295, Rarb) or in brainstem (Fam57b, Gprc5b, Tfap2b) (Supplementary Table 9). Here, ASB4 is linked to Obesity.
