Obesity is associated with polymorphisms of the fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO). This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the association of the rs9930506 FTO gene polymorphism and obesity. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first meta-analysis to evaluate the relation between FTO rs9930506 polymorphism and obesity.
