Association of the LINGO2-related SNP rs10968576 with body mass in a cohort of elderly Swedes.

Molecular genetics and genomics : MGG - 1 Aug 2015

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified common genetic factors influencing body mass as well as body adiposity. The functional implications of these loci are currently under investigation. Intense scrutiny of the body mass-associated FTO locus revealed age-specific effects, or a weakened effect in elderly populations. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of single nucleotide...
