AU - Kim, Jong Yeol PY - 2015 DA - 2015/04/15 TI - The obesity-risk variant of FTO is inversely related with the So-Eum constitutional type: genome-wide association and replication analyses JO - BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine SP - 120 VL - 15 IS - 1 AB - Body constitutional types described in the traditional Korean medicine system, Sasang constitutional medicine, are heritable, as has been revealed by twin and family studies. Thus, individuals with the same constitution type usually have similar pathophysiological and psychological traits. In several recent genome-wide association (GWA) analyses performed to identify constitution-associated variants, the association signals were not replicated due to small sample size and dissimilar, non-objective methods for classification of the constitutional types.
