Common body mass index-associated variants confer risk of extreme obesity (2009)
Cotsapas, Chris, Speliotes, Elizabeth K., Hatoum, Ida J., Greenawalt, Danielle M., Dobrin, Radu, Lum, Pek Y., ...
To investigate the genetic architecture of severe obesity, we performed a genome-wide association study of 775 cases and 3197 unascertained controls at ā¼550 000 markers across the autosomal genome....
Common variants near MC4R are associated with fat mass, weight and risk of obesity (2008)
Loos, Ruth J.F., Lindgren, Cecilia M., Li, Shengxu, Wheeler, Eleanor, Zhao, Jing Hua, Prokopenko, Inga, ...
To identify common variants influencing body mass index (BMI), we analyzed genome-wide association data from 16,876 individuals of European descent. After previously reported variants in FTO, the...
