An X-chromosome scan reveals a locus for fat distribution in chromosome region Xp21-22.

Diabetes - 1 Jun 2002

Price R Arlen, Li Wei-Dong, Kilker Robin

Abstract excerpt

Several groups have completed autosomal genome scans for human obesity, but only two have examined the X chromosome. A French group reported linkage of BMI to Xp and Xq markers, and a Finnish group reported linkage of BMI to Xq. We scanned the X chromosome in two cohorts, 190 European-American families (940 members) and 43 African-American families (208 members). We examined five correlated obesity phenotypes,...
