Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To detect quantitative trait loci influencing adiposity-related phenotypes assessed by body mass index (BMI), abdominal circumference (ABDCIR), percent body fat (%BFAT) and fasting serum leptin and adiponectin using a whole genome linkage scan of families from American Samoa. DESIGN: Family-based linkage analysis, the probands and family members were unselected for obesity. SUBJECTS: A total of 583...
