Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several loci that are associated with body mass index (BMI = kg/m(2)). However, little is known regarding whether the genetic basis of BMI differs among children of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds, how the cumulative effect of these genes influences weight, or the contribution of these variants to body composition. This study examined...
