Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Obesity has a strong genetic influence, with some variants showing stronger associations among women than men. Women are also more likely to distribute weight in the abdomen following menopause. We investigated whether genetic loci link with obesity-related phenotypes differently by menopausal status. METHODS: We performed univariate and bivariate linkage analysis for the phenotypes of body mass index...
