Investigation of molecular mechanisms underlying obesity and related metabolic disturbances

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

I investigated genetic and epigenetic variants underlying obesity and related metabolic disturbances with the aim of identifying new disease mechanisms. I first examined the contribution of genetic variation to the increased risk of central obesity (waist-hip-ratio, WHR) in South Asians compared to Europeans by: i) genome-wide association in 10,318 South Asians; ii) exome-wide association in 2,637 South Asians; ii...
