Identification of genomic copy number variations associated with obesity-related phenotypes

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Obesity is a chronic disease with increasing prevalence worldwide. Recent advances in human genetics have led to the discovery of genetic variations underlying obesity, including copy number variants (CNVs). The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the contribution of CNVs to human obesity by (i) producing high quality CNV catalogues from various SNP genotyping datasets; (ii) identifying specific CNVs previou...
