Multiethnic genome-wide association study identifies ethnic-specific associations with body mass index in Hispanics and African Americans.

BMC genetics - 13 Jun 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies of obesity have typically assumed fixed genetic effects across ethnicities, rarely attempting to thoroughly compare and contrast findings across various ethnic groups. Therefore, our study aimed to identify novel genetic associations with body mass index (BMI), a common measure of obesity, and explore their cross-ethnic generalizability in a multiethnic population. To...
