Genetic architecture of obesity and related metabolic traits-recent insights from isolated populations.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Jun 2018

Andersen Mette Korre, Grarup Niels, Moltke Ida, Albrechtsen Anders, Hansen Torben

Abstract excerpt

In this mini-review, we give an overview of what is known about the genetic architecture of obesity and related metabolic traits with a primary focus on recent insights from studies of historically small and isolated populations. We start by briefly explaining what genetic architecture is and why studies of isolated populations in general are valuable if we want a complete picture of the genetic architecture of...
