Genome-wide methylation data improves dissection of the effect of smoking on body mass index

2020-10-09

Abstract excerpt

Variation in obesity-related traits has a genetic basis with heritabilities between 40 and 70%. While the global obesity pandemic is usually associated with environmental changes related to lifestyle and socioeconomic changes, most genetic studies do not include all relevant environmental covariates, so genetic contribution to variation in obesity-related traits cannot be accurately assessed. Some studies have des...
