Summary of human linkage and association studies.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 1997

Pérusse L, Chagnon Y C

Abstract excerpt

It is now widely accepted that genes play a significant role in the development of human obesity. The mapping of genes contributing to obesity and to regional fat distribution in humans is based on association and linkage studies. This article presents a review of these studies in humans for phenotypes related to excess body mass or body fat and regional fat distribution. The various obesity phenotypes are first...
