The genetics of cross-sectional and longitudinal body mass index.

BMC genetics - 31 Dec 2003

Strug Lisa, Sun Lei, Corey Mary

Abstract excerpt

There has been a lack of consistency in detecting chromosomal loci that are linked to obesity-related traits. This may be due, in part, to the phenotype definition. Many studies use a one-time, single measurement as a phenotype while one's weight often fluctuates considerably throughout adulthood. Longitudinal data from the Framingham Heart Study were used to derive alternative phenotypes that may lead to more...
