An obesogenic FTO allele causes accelerated development, growth and insulin resistance in human skeletal muscle cells

Abstract Human GWAS have shown that obesogenic FTO polymorphisms correlate with lean mass, but the mechanisms have remained unclear. It is counterintuitive because lean mass is inversely correlated with obesity and metabolic diseases. Here, we use CRISPR to knock-in FTO rs9939609-A into hESC-derived...
