These are snps that marks a site in the FTO gene. It was connected to weight loss blood sugar, and circadian rhytm activity.

rs9939609

A allele = Each A= increases hunger and caloric intake, but not energy expenditure
Obesity
less brown fat and more white fat.
FTO correlates with galanin, an orexigenic peptide.

rs1421085

C allele = increased risk of obesity.

rs9941349.

A allele= higher bodymass index.

rs8050136

Iam homozygous for the most beneficial allele on each of these. (Europeans generally carry a less good allele too)

What I can say is that in spite of being overweight for awhile as a kid, I am someone who loses weight easily and is not prone to weight gain, as an adult. My blood sugar and cardiac rhythm are normal.

Interesting, this shows that one gene doesn't make much difference in itself, when you make some efforts.

Don't need a test to tell me I have a proper one.

I have always been low on fat even at my heaviest weight.
