Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Both genes and environment have been implicated in determining the complex body composition phenotypes in individuals of European ancestry; however, few studies have been conducted in other race/ethnic groups. OBJECTIVE: We conducted a genome-wide admixture mapping study in an attempt to localize novel genomic regions associated with genetic ancestry. SETTING/PARTICIPANTS: We selected a sample of 842...
