Functional analysis of seven genes linked to body mass index and adiposity by genome-wide association studies: a review.

Human heredity - 1 Jan 2013

Speakman John R

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a total of about 40 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that show significant linkage to body mass index, a widely utilised surrogate measure of adiposity. However, only 8 of these associations have been confirmed by follow-up GWAS using more sophisticated measures of adiposity (computed tomography). Among these 8, there is a SNP close to the gene FTO...
