CC genotype demonstrated higher body mass index scores and a higher incidence of obesity, but only if they consumed a diet high in saturated fat.

So, if they ate 200 extra calories of saturated fat, they gained weight, but if they ate 200 extra calories of carbs, they didn't?

Is that what they are saying, or am I misinterpreting the study?

I believe the latter. The press release only stated: "Additionally, CC carriers ate about 200 more calories per day and were about twice as likely to be obese."

The abstract didn't elaborate on your question.
