Abstract
Understanding the genetic and environmental parameters that contribute to obesity may lead to earlier identification of subject at risk and therefore more effective interventions to prevent the development or the progression of the different complications associated with obesity. Objective: Assess the frequency of different genotype of hormone sensitive lipase among individuals with different waist hip circumference and assess the risk of the genetic polymorphism of hormone sensitive lipase C-60G on abdominal obesity. Study Setting: The Cross-sectional study was conducted in the Biochemistry department of RAKMHSU for 4 months from (November 2017 – February 2018).
