Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Common variants in PCSK1 have been reported to be associated with obesity in populations of European origin. We aimed to replicate this association in Chinese. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Two PCSK1 variants rs6234 and rs6235 (in strong LD with each other, r(2) = 0.98) were genotyped in a population-based cohort of 3,210 Chinese Hans. The rs6234 was used for further association analyses with...
