中国科学院遗传与发育生物学研究所李巍课题组近日研究发现,位于人类6号染色体长臂D6S1009位点旁侧的SLC35D3基因是人类肥胖症和代谢综合征的致病基因。相关研究日前发表于美国《科学公共图书馆·遗传学》上。之前有研究表明,位于人类6号染色体长臂的D6S1009位点与体重指数BMI紧密相关。李巍课题组通过对有位于该位点旁侧的SLC35D3基因缺陷的小鼠进行观察,发现该小鼠从2 Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences Li Wei research group recently found that located in the human chromosome 6 D6S1009 long arm side SLC35D3 gene is the gene of human obesity and metabolic syndrome. Related research recently published in the United States, “Science Public Library · Genetics”. Previous studies have shown that the long arm of human chromosome 6 D6S1009 sites and body mass index BMI are closely related. Li Wei task group through the site located next to the SLC35D3 gene defects observed in mice and found that the mice from 2
