Regional fat depot masses are influenced by protein-coding gene variants

2019-01-25

Abstract excerpt

With the identification of a large number of genetic loci associated with human fat distribution and its importance for metabolic health, the question arises as to what the genetic drivers for discrete fat depot expansion might be. To date most studies have focussed on conventional anthropometric measures such as waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) adjusted for body mass index. We searched for genetic loci determining discre...
