Although scientists don't fully understand it yet, and it varies from person to person, there is a link between genetics and obesity – as you've probably figured out if you've got friends who can eat whatever they like while remaining thin.

Now new research has identified one gene that could play a role. It's called ALK (Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase), and mutations in this gene have previously been linked to certain cancers, and identified as drivers of tumour growth.

The latest study found two particular ALK variations showing up in thin, low BMI individuals - but not in individuals of normal weight. The analysis looked at the DNA of 47,102 people aged 20 to 44 years old, taken from Estonia's 'biobank', a biological database collected from a large percentage of the Estonian population.

"We wanted to understand why," says medical geneticist Josef Penninger, from the University of British Columbia in Canada. "Most researchers study obesity and the genetics of obesity. We just turned it around and studied thinness, thereby starting a new field of research."

In follow-up tests on mice and Drosophila fruit flies, animals that had the ALK gene turned off stayed thinner than normal – even when the mice were fed what the researchers described to CNN as "a McDonald's diet".

Further tests showed that the mice without the ALK gene had lower than normal body weight and levels of body fat.
