The odds for well-being or illness are determined by the interplay of genetic and environmental impacts. In this review, normal and disturbed body weight regulation are used to demonstrate the role of integrative bioresearch in bridging the gap between identified genotypes and an understanding of the functions of redundant and plastic control systems underlying phenotypes.
