Abstract excerpt

The fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) locus consistently associates with higher body mass index (BMI) across diverse ancestral groups. However, previous small studies of people of Polynesian ancestries have failed to replicate the association. In this study, we used Bayesian meta-analysis to test rs9939609, the most replicated FTO variant, for association with BMI with a large sample (n = 6095) of Aotearoa...
