Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: While GWAS (genome-wide association studies) have identified over 1000 obesity-associated loci, their functional impact on gene expression remains unclear. Moreover, many studies have not fully captured the genetic architecture of obesity in high-risk populations or considered the complexity of adiposity beyond traditional measures. To address these gaps, this study explores the genetic and...
