Candidate SNP markers of obesity-related aggressiveness (these markers may change the TBP–promoter affinity)

Gene dbSNP [12] or see [Reference] 5′ flank wtmut 3′ flank KD, nM Z-score Known diseases (observations) [Reference] or hypothetical ones in the case of the candidate SNP markers predicted by us in [this work] (see Methods: Additional file 2 : Figure S1) [Ref] or [this work]

PGR rs10895068 gggagataaa ga gagccgcgtg 106 8 10−6 Endometrial cancer in obese women [de novo pathogenic TATA box], and also (hypothetically) obese school-aged girls show verbal aggressiveness (e.g., victimization); obese females are more aggressive (primate model); obesity and aggression coexist in polycystic ovary syndrome in women with biliary calculi (retrospective clinical reviews); high aggression/rejection in reproductive behavior (mice); low attraction and high aggression against males in females (rabbit model) [126], [this work] [127132]
LEP rs201381696 tcgggccgct ag taagaggggc 412 17 10−6 (hypothetically) obesity and also, in a 10 yo girl, aggressiveness is a predictive factor for prevention of obesity in adolescence with cardiovascular complications in adulthood, as is the case for 5 yo boys (retrospective review); aberrant maternal behavior, low aggression against an unknown social stimulus and locomotor activity during a high-fat diet (mice); low chance to be dominant due to aggressiveness against subordinates in female social behavior (macaques model), high risks of suicidality, violence, and impulsive aggressiveness in 19–45 yo patients with schizophrenia; higher social aggressiveness in males (rat model); longer survival in aggressive leptin-deficient women with anorexia nervosa [this work], [115, 134143]
