Abstract excerpt
Interindividual differences in generation of new fat cells determine body fat and type 2 diabetes risk. In the GENetics of Adipocyte Lipolysis (GENiAL) cohort, which consists of participants who have undergone abdominal adipose biopsy, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of fat cell number (n = 896). Candidate genes from the genetic study were knocked down by siRNA in human adipose-derived stem...
