Genome-Wide Association Study of Body Fat Distribution identifies Novel Adiposity Loci and Sex-Specific Genetic Effects

2017-10-23

Abstract excerpt

Body mass and body fat composition are of clinical interest due to their links to cardiovascular- and metabolic diseases. Fat stored in the trunk has been suggested as more pathogenic compared to fat stored in other compartments of the body. In this study, we performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for the proportion of body fat distributed to the arms, legs and trunk estimated from segmental bio-electric...
