Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To identify regions on the genome linked to plasma leptin levels. DESIGN: Full genome scan with 402 microsatellite markers, spaced approximately 10 cM apart. Data were analyzed using the Haseman-Elston regression linkage analysis. SUBJECTS: A total of 160 sibling pairs from 59 predominantly African American, obese families recruited to participate in a genetic-epidemiological study of obstructive sleep...
