Cuenta la genetista Cecilia Lindgren<\/a> que, cada vez que da una charla sobre la obesidad, alguien del p\u00fablico levanta la mano para sugerir que la soluci\u00f3n es f\u00e1cil: comer menos. A continuaci\u00f3n, el espont\u00e1neo de turno suele a\u00f1adir alg\u00fan comentario despectivo: los gordos son, sencillamente, personas perezosas que carecen de fuerza de voluntad para no atiborrarse de comida basura. Lindgren, directora del Instituto de Macrodatos de la Universidad de Oxford<\/a> (Reino Unido), resopla ante esta idea generalizada. Su equipo ha identificado multitud de variantes gen\u00e9ticas asociadas a una mayor predisposici\u00f3n para acumular grasa en diferentes partes del cuerpo. Sumados a otros factores ambientales, estos genes pueden determinar la aparici\u00f3n de unas cartucheras o de una buena \u201cbarriga cervecera\u201d, explica Lindgren, nacida en Gotemburgo (Suecia) hace 48 a\u00f1os. La genetista viaj\u00f3 el 19 de mayo a Reikiavik (Islandia) para impartir una conferencia en la sede de la empresa local deCODE Genetics<\/a>, a la que EL PA\u00cdS acudi\u00f3 invitado por la compa\u00f1\u00eda matriz, la farmac\u00e9utica estadounidense Amgen.<\/p>\n
