Ried J, Jeff M J, Chu A, Bragg-Gresham J, Dongen J, Huffman J, et al.
Nat Commun . 2016 Nov; 7:13357. PMID: 27876822
Large consortia have revealed hundreds of genetic loci associated with anthropometric traits, one trait at a time. We examined whether genetic variants affect body shape as a composite phenotype that...

Nat Commun . 2016 Feb; 7:10495. PMID: 26833246
To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of adiposity and its links to cardiometabolic disease risk, we conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of body fat percentage (BF%) in up...

Kilpelainen T, Martin Carli J, Skowronski A, Sun Q, Kriebel J, Feitosa M, et al.
Nat Commun . 2016 Feb; 7:10494. PMID: 26833098
Leptin is an adipocyte-secreted hormone, the circulating levels of which correlate closely with overall adiposity. Although rare mutations in the leptin (LEP) gene are well known to cause leptin deficiency...

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 100 genetic variants contributing to BMI, a measure of body size, or waist-to-hip ratio (adjusted for BMI, WHRadjBMI), a measure of body...
