Introduction: The prevalence of overweight and obesity has
developed the critical global threat which leads to metabolic
risks and mortality. A Leptin hormone that regulates the food
intake as well as food expenditure is encoded by Leptin
gene. The gene has shown a pivotal role in obesity
pathogenesis. This study was sought to determine the SNPs
and haplotype association of the Leptin gene that were
assigned as G2548A, H1328080, and A19G with obesity
among Malays in Terengganu, Malaysia
