Recapitulation of genome-wide association studies on body mass index in the Korean population.

International journal of obesity (2005) - 1 Aug 2012

Hong K W, Oh B

Abstract excerpt

Obesity is a risk factor for multiple disorders such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Recently, a genome-wide association study for body mass index (BMI) was conducted in 249 796 individuals of European ancestry by the Genetic Investigation of Anthropometric Traits (GIANT) consortium. They identified 14 known obesity susceptibility loci and 18 new loci associated with BMI at the genome-wide significance...
