| Name | Brain atrophy (A:m6A) |
| Description | Structural brain atrophy in carriers of the FTO risk allele (SNP rs9939609) is identified in healthy elderly subjects . Those carrying at least one copy of the risk allele showed brain tissue deficits in the frontal and the occipital lobes, areas that are also associated with volume reductions in subjects with higher BMI. |
