The Lypla1 gene impacts obesity in a sex-specific manner

Susceptibility to obesity, insulin resistance and other cardio-metabolic traits may also be dependent on a person's sex.

The researchers discovered, among other things, a sex-specific obesity locus of the Lypla1 gene, which is associated with human obesity.
