Abstract excerpt

Obesity is a multifactorial disorder with a complex phenotype. It is a significant risk factor for diabetes and hypertension. We assessed obesity-related traits in a large cohort of twins and performed a genome-wide linkage scan and positional candidate analysis to identify genes that play a role in regulating fat mass and distribution in women. Dizygous female twin pairs from 1,094 pedigrees were studied (mean...
