FTO

I carry just one risk variant—in the “fatso” gene, officially known as FTO.7 The Navigenics site confirmed that “researchers conservatively estimate that 100 to 200 other genes and their interactions, as well as their interactions with lifestyle factors like diet and exercise, may be implicated in obesity.”

A meta-analysis that included 45 studies of 218,166 adults looked at the effect physical activity had on being saddled with a gene associated with fat mass and obesity, otherwise known as the FTO gene or obesity gene.
