Genetic Impacts on Variability of Body Fat Distribution Uncover Gene-Environment and Gene-Gene Interactions

2026-04-02

Abstract excerpt

Body fat distribution is a strong predictor of cardiometabolic disease risk. Gene-environment and gene-gene interactions can affect body fat distribution, resulting in differential phenotypic variance across genotype groups that can be detected through variance quantitative trait loci (vQTLs). Using UK Biobank MRI data in conjunction with genetic data, we explored evidence for vQTLs for body fat distribution pheno...
