Researchers explore role of FTO gene in the comorbidity of depression and obesity

Scientists from the University of Granada (UGR) have highlighted that the possible role attributed to the 'fat mass and obesity-associated' (FTO) gene in the comorbidity of depression and obesity can only be confirmed by conducting more studies involving individuals suffering from both diseases, together with more in-depth analysis of the different clinical subtypes of depression, as some are more prone to being accompanied by obesity than others.
