Genome-wide association studies of human adiposity: Zooming in on synapses.

Molecular and cellular endocrinology - 15 Dec 2015

Sandholt Camilla H, Grarup Niels, Pedersen Oluf, Hansen Torben

Abstract excerpt

The decade anniversary for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is approaching, and this experimental approach has commenced a deeper understanding of the genetics underlying complex diseases. In obesity genetics the GIANT (Genetic Investigation of ANthropometric Traits) consortium has played a crucial role, recently with two comprehensive meta-analyses, one focusing on general obesity, analyzing body-mass...
