New Genomic Technique Reveals Obesity Gene Variants

More bad news for the stupid folk waiting for the genetic "cure" for their overfatness.
Obesity is highly heritable, but so far genetic association studies have only explained a small fraction of this heritability. Now, in a study published in BioMed Central's open access journal Genome Biology, researchers have identified DNA variants in two nervous system genes that are associated with an excessively high BMI.
Assuming 2 variants per gene, that makes over 12062 genes.

Yeah. They'll find a genetic "cure."

In a pig's eye, oinkers.
