Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Large-scale genome-wide association studies have identified 12 genetic loci that are robustly associated with body mass index (BMI). OBJECTIVES: We examined associations and compared effect sizes of these newly identified obesity susceptibility loci with various anthropometric traits and assessed their cumulative effects and predictive value for obesity risk. DESIGN: We genotyped 12 single nucleotide...
