This study focused on the rs12970134 near melanocortin 4
receptor (MC4R) gene related structural and functional
alteration of brain in young obese adults from Chinese
HAN population. Voxel-based morphometry analysis of
T1-weighted MRI and functional connectivity (FC)
analysis of resting-state fMRI were adopted. Increased
FC strength between the bilateral hypothalamus and the
regions of food reward and default mode network were
demonstrated in MC4R A-allele carriers in the young
obese adults.
