Genome scan for body mass index and height in the Framingham Heart Study.

BMC genetics - 31 Dec 2003

Geller Frank, Dempfle Astrid, Görg Tilman

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Body mass index (BMI) and adult height are moderately and highly heritable traits, respectively. To investigate the genetic background of these quantitative phenotypes, we performed a linkage genome scan in the extended pedigrees of the Framingham Heart Study. Two variance-components...
