ABSTRACT:
The present invention is based at least in part on the discovery of a polymorphism in the human SR-BI gene which is genetically linked with a high body mass index. Accordingly, the invention provides diagnostic assays and kits for determining whether a subject has or is at risk of developing an abnormal body mass index, such as a high body mass.
