Use of a gene score of multiple low-modest effect size variants can predict the risk of obesity better than the individual SNPs.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Obesity is a complex disorder, the development of which is modulated by a multitude of environmental, behavioral and genetic factors. The common forms of obesity are polygenic in nature which means that many variants in the same or different genes act synergistically and affect the body weight quantitatively. The aim of the current study was to use information from many common variants previously...
