Evidence for at least two major loci influencing human fatness.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Sept 1998

Abstract excerpt

The genetics of human fatness has been the subject of many recent studies, motivated by the increased morbidity and mortality associated with obesity, as well as the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity. The body-mass index (BMI) and fat mass (FM), measured by underwater weighing, were assessed for 1,630 individuals from approximately 300 families from phase 1 of the Quebec Family Study. The two...
