The genetics of obesity in Saudi Arabian population

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Obesity is a highly heritable and genetically heterogeneous disorder. Reports have shown that the number of obese individuals will project to worldwide high levels in the next couple of years. In this study I tried to identify missing heritability in obesity by looking at extreme phenotypes that are likely to be enriched with rare variants. This will improve the power of their discovery by identifying the loci tha...
