Sex-stratified GWAS of Body Fat Percentage after Adjusting for Testosterone and SHBG in the UK Biobank

2023-03-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Introduction</h4> Adiposity, particularly centripetal adiposity/reduced gluteofemoral adiposity, increases dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary artery disease (CAD). Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to date have identified 12 loci associated with body fat percentage (BFP). Biological sex influences both overall adiposity and fat distribution. Further, testosterone and sex ho...
