Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are a laborious but powerful tool to identify genetic risk factors associated with complex polygenic traits such as obesity [1], diabetes [2], or coronary artery disease [3]. The link between genetic variation in FTO and obesity was first described in a GWAS for type 2 diabetes [1] and was later independently confirmed in different populations all over the world. First described in 2007, genetic variation in FTO has since become one of the most solidly confirmed risk factor for polygenic obesity in humans; yet, infor-mation about how FTO affects metabo
