Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Body fat mass (BFM) is more homogeneous and accurate than body total mass in measuring obesity but has rarely been studied. Aiming to uncover the genetic basis of fat-induced obesity, a genome-wide association meta-analysis of BFM, after adjustment by body lean mass, was performed in the European population. METHODS: Three samples of European ancestry were included in the meta-analysis: the Framingham...
