Sex-specific genetic effects influence variation in body composition

6 Oct 2008

Abstract excerpt

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Despite well-known sex differences in body composition it is not known whether sex-specific genetic or environmental effects contribute to these differences. METHODS: We assessed body composition in 2,506 individuals, from a young Dutch genetic isolate participating in the Erasmus Rucphen Family study, by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and anthropometry. We used variance decomposition...
