Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has been successful in identifying obesity risk genes by single-variant association analysis. For this study, we designed steps of analysis strategy and aimed to identify multi-variant effects on obesity risk among candidate genes. METHODS: Our analyses were focused on 2137 African American participants with body mass index measured in the Jackson Heart Study and...
