Ribosomal DNA copy number is associated with body mass in humans and other mammals

2023-08-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Body mass results from a complex interplay between genetics and environment. The contribution of genetic variation to body mass has been extensively studied, but due to the technical limitations of platforms used for population scale studies, repetitive parts of the genome have not previously been considered. Here we applied genome-wide approaches to identify an association between adult body mas...
