Objective Evaluate whether the polymorphism rs17782313 near MC4R gene influences
long-term outcomes after bariatric surgery. Methods The rs16782313 polymorphism was
genotyped in 217 individuals undergoing bariatric surgery and analyzed in detail in 141
women. Data for comorbidities, BMI, excess weight loss (EWL), and body composition were
