Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple common variants associated with body mass index (BMI). In this study, we tested 23 genotyped GWAS-significant SNPs (p-value<5*10-8) for longitudinal associations with BMI during childhood (3-17 years) and adulthood (18-45 years) for 658 subjects. We also proposed a heuristic forward search for the best joint effect model to explain the longitudinal...
