Multifaceted genome-wide study identifies novel regulatory loci for body mass index in Indians

2019-06-13

Abstract excerpt

Obesity, a risk factor for various human diseases originates through complex interactions between genes and prevailing environment that varies across populations. Indians exhibit a unique obesity phenotype likely attributed by specific gene pool and environmental factors. Here, we present genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 7,259 Indians to understand the genetic architecture of body mass index (BMI) in the po...
