A Hidden Genetic Code in Body Fat Is Linked to Obesity Risks

This hidden layer of gene control shows distinct patterns in dangerous visceral fat compared to subcutaneous fat. These molecular variations correlate with clinical measures of obesity and metabolic health, opening a new frontier in understanding disease.
