Abstract excerpt

Numerous studies have been done to understand genetic contributors to BMI, but only a limited number of studies have been done in nonwhite groups such as American Indians. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) for BMI was therefore performed in Pima Indians. BMI measurements from a longitudinal study of 1,120 Pima Indians and 454,194 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the 1 million Affymetrix SNP panel...
