Meta‐Analysis of Genome‐wide Linkage Studies in BMI and Obesity

1 Sept 2007

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to provide an overall assessment of genetic linkage data of BMI and BMI-defined obesity using a nonparametric genome scan meta-analysis. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: We identified 37 published studies containing data on over 31,000 individuals from more than >10,000 families and obtained genome-wide logarithm of the odds (LOD) scores, non-parametric linkage (NPL) scores, or...
