Population differentiation in allele frequencies of obesity-associated SNPs.

BMC genomics - 10 Nov 2017

Mao Linyong, Fang Yayin, Campbell Michael, Southerland William M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Obesity is emerging as a global health problem, with more than one-third of the world's adult population being overweight or obese. In this study, we investigated worldwide population differentiation in allele frequencies of obesity-associated SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms). RESULTS: We collected a total of 225 obesity-associated SNPs from a public database. Their population-level allele...
