Obesity-susceptibility loci and the tails of the pediatric BMI distribution.

Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) - 1 Jun 2013

Mitchell Jonathan A, Hakonarson Hakon, Rebbeck Timothy R, Grant Struan F A

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether previously identified adult obesity susceptibility loci were associated uniformly with childhood BMI across the BMI distribution. DESIGN AND METHODS: Children were recruited through the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (n = 7,225). Associations between the following loci and BMI were assessed using quantile regression: FTO (rs3751812), MC4R (rs12970134), TMEM18 (rs2867125), BDNF...
