Using genetic admixture to study the biology of obesity traits and to map genes in admixed populations.

Nutrition reviews - 1 Jul 2004

Fernández José R, Shiver Mark D

Abstract excerpt

Differences among ethnic and racial groups in obesity-related traits have been clearly established in the scientific literature. To explore the genetic component underlying these differences, the genetic admixture approach has been used. In this approach, ancestry informative genetic markers are used to estimate a quantitative value representing the degree of ancestral background in individuals of admixed genetic...
