Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple novel loci associated with adiposity in European-derived study populations. Limited study of these loci has been reported in African Americans. Here we examined the effects of these previously identified adiposity loci in African Americans. METHODS: A total of 46 representative single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 19 loci that...
