Abstract excerpt

Although several genomewide scans have identified quantitative-trait loci influencing several obesity-related traits in humans, genes influencing normal variation in obesity phenotypes have not yet been identified. We therefore performed a genome scan of body mass index (BMI) on Mexican Americans...
