Abstract excerpt
Over the past 30 years, significant progress has been made in understanding the genetic causes of obesity. In the coming years, catalogs that map each genetic variant to its genomic function are expected to accelerate variant-to-function (V2F) translation. Given that obesity is a heterogeneous disease, research will have to move beyond body mass index (BMI). Gene discovery efforts for more refined adiposity...
