Genome wide association study in 3,173 outbred rats identifies multiple loci for body weight, adiposity, and fasting glucose

2018-09-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> Obesity is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Despite success of human genome wide association studies (GWAS), the specific genes that confer obesity remain largely unknown. The objective of this study was to use outbred rats to identify genetic loci underlying obesity and related morphometric and metabolic traits. <h4>Methods</h4> We measured obesity-relevant traits including bo...
