just started looking up articles:

FTO: the first gene contributing to common forms of human obesity R. J. F. Loos1,*, C. Bouchard2 Obesity Reviews Volume 9, Issue 3, pages 246–250, May 2008

Genetic factors in human obesity I. S. Farooqi, S. O’Rahilly Obesity Reviews Volume 8, pages 37–40, March 2007

http://ama-med.org.ar/obesidad/MC4R_Mutation.pdf Clinical Spectrum of Obesity and Mutations in the Melanocortin 4 Receptor Gene I. Sadaf Farooqi, M.D., Ph.D., Julia M. Keogh, B.Sc., Giles S.H. Yeo, Ph.D., Emma J. Lank, B.Sc., Tim Cheetham, M.D., and Stephen O'Rahilly, M.D. N Engl J Med 2003; 348:1085-1095March 20, 2003

Common variants near MC4R are associated with fat mass, weight and risk of obesity Ruth J F Loos et al. Nature Genetics 40, 768 - 775 (2008) http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/v40/n6/full/ng.140.html

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v404/n6778/full/404644a0.html a review article called the genetics of body weight regulation.

I know these aren't written as proper references but we can decide what ones we want to use then fix them.
