Evaluating the interaction of common FTO genetic variants, added sugar, and trans-fatty acid intakes in altering obesity phenotypes

This study aimed to investigate whether the association of changes in general and central obesity with added sugar and TFA intakes is modified by common fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) polymorphisms, in isolation or in a combined-form genetic risk score (GRS).
