Abstract excerpt
Genome wide association studies have identified numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with obesity, yet effect sizes of individual SNPs are small. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate whether a genetic risk score (GRS) comprising risk alleles of SNPs identified in the GIANT consortium meta-analyses shows association with body mass index (BMI) and other BMI related metabolic...
