Genetic Variant in Leptin rs7799039 Is Associated with Total Body Mineral Estimates, but Not with Fat Mass, in Young Healthy Adults
Our data suggest that the rs7799039 variant in the <i>LEP</i> gene may be associated with small differences in total body mineral content in young adult women. These findings should be interpreted as exploratory associations, rather than evidence of biological specificity or an independent genetic effect.
