Heritability and genetic correlations of obesity-related phenotypes among Roma people.

Annals of human biology - 1 May 2012

Poveda Alaitz, Ibáñez Ma Eugenia, Rebato Esther

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The Roma people are particularly vulnerable to developing obesity and related diseases, due to their social and ethnic backgrounds. However, little is known about the genetic and/or environmental factors affecting the variability of obesity-related traits among the Roma population. AIM: The aim of the present study was to estimate heritabilities and common genetic and environmental influences of...
