Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the genetic mechanisms of regional fat deposition, which is a strong risk factor for metabolic diseases beyond total adiposity. METHODS: A genome-wide association study of 7,757,139 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 983 Mexican Americans (nmale = 403; nfemale = 580) from the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Family Study was performed. Association analyses were...
